The final instalment in the Shamanborn series follow Sirscha from her point of view. It was clear as I was listening that the author’s goal was to wrap up loose ends. 

Overall the pace was medium but it ebbed and flowed with some sections being extremely slow moving and others very fast. 

Sirscha’s friendship with Seango was a major driver of Sirscha’s choices in the book. Her personal conflict between her magic, the soulless, and her duties led her to make some interesting choices which led her to the most daring decision to save the kingdom. 

The sacrifices of all the major characters in the series made this book emotionally strong and even devastating at times for the reader or in my case, listener. 

This book was filled with magic, inner conflict, tough choices, strong friendships, and political intrigue. The strength that Sirscha gains throughout the book and the series makes for a wonderful read.
