This final book in the quartet was a fast, nerve racking roller coaster! I enjoyed the ride immensely.
Decades have passed since book # 1 and beloved characters have aged and changed with the years. It is not so often that a Fantasy writer can have me thinking so deeply about change and effect-not only in his fantasy world, but relating it all to my own real-life world. When a writer can move my emotions from joy, to despair to utter WTF-making me laugh, cry and scream No! not him, don't kill him! (until the punch in the arm comes from my husband)- Well, that's a damn good writer.
Things I have said in earlier reviews on this author: Such panache in writing style and creating interesting, complex characters, magic system and world.
If you enjoy high fantasy and have not sampled Daniel Abraham's solo work, I high recommend you read this series. If you don't like it, well then, I am sorry we just cannot be friends.
