This is the finale of Lindskold's "Firekeeper" series, and while the author does a decent enough job of wrapping things up, you can tell she's either running out of ideas or is tired of the characters.
One the one hand, it's a shame, because the world Jane Lindskold created was a rich one, full of political intrigue, cultural diversity (how many sf and fantasy writers assume new worlds would have only one sort of society?) and sharply drawn inhabitants. On the other hand, it More...

Surpasses Wolf Hunting in my opinion but I was always one for well written battles. I loved how Lindskold didn't just stay with Firekeeper and Derian, how she moved between those two and the 'Old World' nations. A little predictable with the Meddler's love of Firekeeper but Firekeeper's love of Blind Seer though they shall never be. (oh the tragedy! ok sorry. no more sarcasm I promise)still a great read if you liked the rest of the series

The last installment in the Firekeeper saga. It had a good run, and I'm not too sad to see it end. There was really no where else for them to go after this.
It took me a bit to get into because it had been so long between this book and the last, but it wasn't bad. A bit complex, maybe a bit convoluted as well in some places, but all in all a good ending to the series.

I've loved this Firekeeper series for a long while, but never read this last book until now. I think I was a little scared to be finally finishing the series. However, once I started it, I just couldn't put the books down.
There were so many unexpected plot twists, and included the surprising reappearence of many beloved characers from the earlier books. I especially loved that Firekeeper and Blind Seer could revist New Kelvin, a land that always intrigued me,especially in the Dragon More...

Another entry in the "Firekeeper" series. The protagonist was lost in the woods as a baby and was raised by wolves. That is, really big, telepathic wolves. The protagonist gained the name "Firekeeper" and could talk to the animals. (Kind of a Mogli meets Dr. Doolittle -- with a hearty dose of any given plucky #######.)
However, these aren't just any normal animals. They are fully sentient creatures capable of plotting and full rational thought.

This book honestly surprised me. I had picked it up just as another book to read but when I finally sat down to read it, I found myself swept into the world in the book, which is odd considering I hadn't read the previous 5 books.
The characters, dialogue and setting all seem well thought out and sweep you away into the world. I will likely be exploring other books from Jane.

And the Firekeeper saga ends here.
It was ....fine. Not where I expected it to end up, and she even managed to make me okay with most of the character's choices. (I sometimes have definite opinions about what I want to happen. I am frequently disappointed.) I still don't like Isende as much as Rahniseeta, but, okay, fine.
Otherwise, quests finished, a brief appearance by Elise and Doc, some wrapping of plotlines, and a generally satisfactory book.

Liked this book more than the previous installment. The characters still continue to grow in depth and complexity. I would love to have seen more of the old world. Those characters and plots were glossed over very quickly. A couple of key characters were ignored almost completely, Doc and Elise, which disappointed me. The final battle was almost anticlimactic. This book wraps the series up nicely but I still want to read more of Firekeeper. I feel like there is more potential now that the

It took me a while to get into this. However, I did enjoy the ending. I especially enjoyed Plik's solution to the Old World's aggression, even more than Firekeeper's tactics and her discourse on love. Maybe 3 and 1/2, but the ending made up for the rough start.

For the most part I thought the book was all right. My only problem with the book is how over descriptive Jane can be. If you're a fan of the series, I do recommend picking up the book.

Couldn't find this as an e-book. Strange since all others in the series are available electronically. Waiting to get from library.
I'm sorry to see this series over. I really liked these books. But to be honest, most any book with animals (especially wolves!) as main characters get high marks with me.

Not the best in the series, but contained battle, wolves, and magic. Enjoyed ending. Lots of emotion.

Much like Dragon of Despair, this book reuses too much of what happened in the previous book and seems like it could have been included in Wolf Hunting. The worst thing for me, though, was that it didn't seem like a conclusion to the series. We resolve something that's mentioned in, I think, every book in the series, but it just feels like a rehash of Wolf Hunting without a different conclusion.

I like how the series has eveolved, with this being my faviorte book yet... I confess I did skim through a few of the 'Old World Ruler' chapters as I found them rather empty of any action... Jane has a habit of turning entire chapters into a culture's detailed history lesson... which are easy to skim due to no real 'on stage' action seems to happen in these chapters.

I'm a sucker for punishment. I guess I have to read the whole series to find out what happens. And it didn't turn out well.
