Now that was a jolly end to this book/series
Ultimately this well-written series became grey and depressing, as characters great and small were sacrificed to the narrative arc. The descriptions of the islands, the language, the history, made the story palatable for much of the journey. But I was relieved to reach the end: no-one else needs to die.
