It's not my favorite of the Enchanted Forest Chronicles books, but it's still a great read. Daystar is a bit of a goof, though his lighthearted optimism can be endearing at times. My favorite character in the book has to be the fire-witch Shiara who is hot-tempered, yet very capable and intelligent. It's a great conclusion to the series that marries some familiar elements from the previous books with the fresh perspective of a new cast of characters.
