The power behind the shadows steps into the light. Armies clash, sorcerers hurl magics of staggering power, the world is fundamentally reshaped, but we never lose sight of the individual characters, their loves, losses, betrayals and vengeances. A fine conclusion to a truly epic series.

[Andreea Pausan · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting trilogy, with the last book superior to the two before. A tale of sorcery and romance and betrayal and the power and dangers of change.The author creates an interesting and believable world humans share with other races.

[Brian Allen · Rating 5 out of 5]

A novel well worth reading, I won't spoil much but I will say this, the good guys win, and the bad guys die permanently this time, unlike the previous two novels. Not the best fantasy trilogy ever written, but well worth reading if you are into high fantasy.
