The final book in the Emperor's Edge series was just as much fun to read as all the others have been. These books have engrossed me in a way that is pretty rare and they are just a joy to read. This one has a daunting task in wrapping up all the plot threads of the series and giving the characters satisfying ends.
I think it succeeds at the latter better than the former. I'm left feeling good about where all the characters end up, even though the ending is bittersweet. As for the plot, I felt the resolution of the civil war was really sudden and rushed, which is the only reason this one gets a 4 star instead of a 5. My reaction was pretty much, "It's over??"
I'm very much looking forward to reading the entire series as a whole to get a better sense of the pacing and also just because I enjoy it so much.
