adventurous dark medium-paced

3.0

Satisfying conclusion. I enjoyed this, and really did like how the final romance played out, but I didn't LOVE the story. I'm not loving much as far as reading lately, so this probably isn't the book's failing. A few notes: it handled a rape accusation and subsequent discussion of justice beautifully, there was a pleasantly surprising same sex relationship that popped up and was treated identically to the hetero relationships in the story, and I really enjoyed how well fleshed out most of the characters got to be. Solid fantasy series for anyone who likes love stories that have the potential to go in a variety of a directions.
