Read in March, 2008

I plowed through the first two books in the trilogy loving the flow of the story. The endings are all clever to give resolutions but still force me on to the next book. This third book left me feeling a little -eh-.
Maybe it was the fact that only about two or three days had passed for the characters, it gave me a headache to even think about that. Perhaps I was put out by the pregnant fifteen year old who changes into a magical non human, then back to a human with no mention of the physical effects on the pregnancy. (other than the part I won't spoil) I know the baby was probably only several cells at the time, but she was treated like a true character from conception. I felt a little -aaargh- about that.
I would recommend only reading the first two books in the trilogy. She has a lovely writing voice. As for the third, just know it all works okay, kind of.
