A review by sammystarbuck
Mistress Of The Empire by Raymond E. Feist, Janny Wurts
5.0
A cracking end to a fantastic trilogy. The first half of the book is a little different from the other two. For reasons you'll come to understand pretty quickly if you read the book, Mara is not her scheming, backside-kicking self for the first half. Instead, that part of the book is really Arakasi's. always an intriguing - if underused - character, he really comes into his own here, and carries the story forward in an admirable way.
The second half of the book, Mara is back on form.
The last 30 pages are a bit of a blur. I mean that literally, as despite the fact that I've read the book several times before, and knew it was coming, there is a particularly heartbreaking scene about 30 pages before the end of the book that meant I was trying to read the rest through some particularly obnoxious tears that just refused to go away. Hence, a blur.
