It's all I can do not to roll my eyes.

In all seriousness, I did not enjoy it. While this third and final book of the series did not start out with recap of the previous book lasting at least until the 40% mark (as the second book did), I was still incredibly annoyed throughout because the the author kept describing people, creatures and places as if it was the first time they appear in the series. She seems to have zero trust in her readers' memory. I do not need a reminder every time what a Forsworn is or who one of the side characers is when they've had loads of page time already. And the one thing she should have explained, as it was not mentioned in the second book (I checked), she just glosses over as if I should know what it is. Even beyond that, the writing was rather poor (the author just loves to overuse certain phrases) and the story just as convoluted and messy as in the second book. The thing I loved most about book one was the found family. That enjoyment was diminished in the second one and completely destroyed in this one, as their relationships and interactions became monotonous. It was always the same: Deka doubting herself, Britta saying 'we're here for ye Deka', and the others joining in. Over and over again. Blegh. Glad it's over. The two stars are for Ixa, the star of this series as far as I'm concerned.
