A wonderful wrap-up to this trilogy. Again, I really enjoyed that this book was narrated by someone new - keeping things fresh an interesting and allowing each of the other girls' stories to maintain the closure given to them earlier. Looking first at the historical setting, I appreciate how Anne's story and the plight of Brittany were wrapped up - both staying more or less historically accurate while allowing the magic and fantasticism of the novels to break through in a guiding role. Annith's story, both personally and of love, were enjoyable to read. They gave closure to herself and to the readers, bringing to the forefront the problems of the convent and their "interpretation" of Mortain's will. Also, bringing an end to not only the present issues, but also the historical and mythological ones, Annith and Mortain's (Balthazaar's) love story is the ideal one to end on. It was perhaps too contrived, similar to the others, but was expected at this point. And really more explainable than any of the others, since when it started, one party was a god, presupposing more all-knowingness from him. Abbess's story and Annith's past was not entirely unexpected, but there were some extra tidbits rolled in that made the reveal interesting still. And the motivations of the Abbess were ones that do invoke some sympathy and her punishment was fitting. It was also refreshing for Annith's history and love to be different from Ismae's and Sybella's and not too easily fall into the type-casting that it could have from their proceeding adventures. I am happy with the endings of all the characters as well - they found their partners and their callings, but that they will split was a nice touch and not too "happily ever after." I wish, for personal reasons (this type of god/woman is one of my favorites to read about), to have seen more of Arduinna's daughters and for Annith to have spent more time with them, but understand that how things fell out were better for the plot. I also appreciate that the author realized that not all loose end's were tied up (as in, what becomes of Julian and the other hellequins, what will the daughter's of Mortain do/serve now, etc.) and addresses it in a realistic way - the future is not all known, but will be dealt with as it comes. It is also a cool way to address how much the new Church is overtaking the previous gods (Mortain's mortality means what was once his domain now moves to something else). All in all, a very successful trilogy that kept my interest and had me invested, and I am happy this is what I started off my 2016 with!
