Definitely my favorite in the series and in the Tortall book so far. The part where Kel returns to a ruined Haven made me genuinely emotional. Though I do wish the rest of the books had lived up to this one in my reread.

An amazing end to the Protector of the Small quartet. I had forgotten that it was being written suring the events of September 11, 2001. This is my 7th or 8th re-read, and this time I was struck with how well Tamora Pierce drew on the emotions of that traumatic event in American history to tell this story.

I don't know what it was, but this took me a lot longer than normal to finish. It just felt dull, and I had no desire to read it with how repetitive it felt. 

This is definitely the darkest of the 4 books, but was one of the least interesting. The last 100 pages has most of the action, and the rest is basically just people living their lives in a Fort. It did feel nice to see/learn more about the side-characters, but it also felt a bit "too little too late". 

Kel was the same as she's been in all of the books. She really never changes, nor has any difficulty accomplishing anything. The final climax of the book was about 2 pages, and that was it. Even the MC commented on how it wasn't what she expected.
