A fitting wrap for an epic fantasy series. Urban fantasy is probably the best description, although I could see steampunk as well. This book wraps up the various threads and character arcs started in the first two books in a very satisfactory (to me at least) way. Like the earlier books, I didn't find it to really be much of a mystery where things we going, with the twists being pretty obvious from hints dropped along the way. But I didn't think that was a bad thing, since the story was still great despite knowing generally where it was headed. The characters are pretty much all great, and we repeatedly see underlying themes of the dangers of concentrated power.
