I have enjoyed this series but this book was a total waste. I listened to the audiobook and I believe I got about 50% in before any of the characters were characters I knew! Long twisty plot that really doesn't feel like it fully resolves about a silver fleeing her betrothed. I mean you find out if she escapes or not and then that part of the story is just done. The additional info FINALLY comes about Mare, Cal, Evangeline, Elaine etc, but it doesn't seem really resolved. If there is going to be another book, then this book could have continued the storylines and this massive turd of a book (that someone described as a very long epilogue and I agree) would not even need to exist. In fact if there is another book, I doubt I would read it. Finished this as it was the only current audiobook I had, or I would have bailed on it about 1/3 of the way through.
