After the long ride with this series, the ending made me so mad I threw the book. However, sometimes when a book elicits such a strong response it simply shows how strong the storytelling and character building is.

I really was glad to see Yorick did not end up with his original Beth (and for all of the reasons I thought this was a doomed quest to begin with). The lack of a neatly tied up ending also was strangley satisfying. Yorick as a crazy old man was pretty great.
