A fitting end to the His Fair Assassin Trilogy. However, I didn't feel as connected to Annith as I did to Ismae and Sybella, and I think this may be related to the need to also wrap up the trilogy (instead of really just focusing in on the character building). LaFevers writing immerses you in the time period, but with a mystical and mythological edge that is all her own. I appreciated the twist on the love interest here, but I did find the ending a bit rushed. I also really really really wanted more of Sybella and Ismae, who did make appearances but never enough for me :).
