I'm sad to wrap up our journey with Kel. The final battle wasn't as climactic as Alanna's was, but it was decent. Like YA literature of the time, everything wraps up far too quickly for my taste, but it was the way stories were written at the time. I feel like Pierce is now freer to build tension and worry by slowing down the action instead of speeding it up.

Overall, wonderful. I've still got some Pierce books left to read, so off I go!
