Wow! An unbelievably good story. There were only a few questions I had from both this series and the Legends series that I was afraid would go unanswered. Boy was I wrong. Michael took his time in this novel to not just tell a compelling story but also dig very deep into Ryria's lore. My favorite fantasy books are ones that give me a new reason to reread the whole series upon finishing each chapter.
I would rank this just below Farilane as I still believe that will forever stand as Michael's best book and definitely the best ending of a fantasy novel.
Some further spoiler thoughts for this series and Legends are below but I can't wait to dig into Revelations and Chronicles for the first time!
<Spoiler> Mileva gave Trilos a way out of Phyre (had the typhons dig a hole through to the edge of Phyre) in exchange for finding Muriel, although she said it was too get revenge on Turin. She didn't realize that Trilos would have to sacrifice his memories of Muriel to escape Phyre. He doesn't remeber her since he stored his memories in the tablets. Brin transferred the writing to her book which Trilos eventually read after talking to both Mileva and Bran about it.
Did mileva kill Bran and Falkirk and Dibben? Because she captured them at one point
I think part of Farilane's necessary death was so she wouldn't report castle Blythium
Alurya's death is what caused Uberlin to turn into Malcolm from grief. Their daughter, Muriel, is who keeps the seasons changing.
What is borappathin
Who are the asendwayr
Who is osla (irawondona's grandfather)
Is Sephryn just Persephone's name s but confused because of the many years that have passed
What is the Agave. The cave on Elan's side?
Eton is death, Elan is the world
Mileva's diving caused the barrier between Eton and Elan to thin enough that Malcolm could see Trilos'spirit from inside the corpse.
Turin started seeing Trilos' actions after he passed through Borappathin (escaping from Neith) heading up towards Estramnadon.
Chaos infected Alurya who passed it on to Turin who spread it across Elan as Rex Uberlin
What was venlyn day (an anxious day and a chaotic night)
Makareta is the lady who will later be important
