Red Waters Rising, Volume 3 by Laura Anne Gilman

4.0

Totally glad to be back in the world, and the vast majority of the book was strong and fascinating. Unfortunately, the ending was... confusing? A bit of a fizzle? Just not really there? I read it a couple of times trying to figure out what exactly happens that sorts the long-building situation out and I got: a magician. And also if you aren't part of the bargain that keeps the territory alive, the territory will cease to be alive and this is what that will look like, ok? And it just didn't come together for me. Anyway, I hope that adventures continue in this world, because it's a heck of a world.
