You can’t dance through a monsoon
Magical epic fantasy without the expected bits, of witches, wizards, religion, or potions. This fantasy is non stop action, based on the mind, reality and changes everything. The characters so unusual, well developed and fascinating have become important to me through the series, Clef is still my favorite. Each character has their own strengths and weaknesses that are played upon perfectly, even with their death. Yes there is death, and it is heart breaking, twisting and revealing.
Man, this was intense, non stop intense. I had to read it in small chunks. So much was happening, changing, life is at its end or not, plans are made/unmade, an unstoppable all powerful dangerous villain is coming. Memories are revealed, to all, we finally find out how this all began, how they each began. (Get out the tissues) The conclusion was perfect for the story, it wrapped up all the loose ends.
I really enjoyed it, not as much as the first two. It’s hard to watch all the characters you’ve watched grow, get smacked around and downed. What an epic ride this has been.
