I enjoyed reading it quite a bit. It was less stressfull than the previous volume of the trilogy because - this being the final book - I assumed less things would go wrong.

Sadly that is exactly what I am now critisizing. It's not that the heroes - yes plural - got an easy way out. But as is often the case with fantasy books towards the end even those that aren't strictly high fantasy become more and more fantastic, magic obviously being the magic ingredient that resolves all plotholes and all difficulties.

The book is not bad at all. I was just a bit underwhelmed by the end and confused. I'll probably still start on the other trilogies sometime soon :)

What I really liked btw is the development between Nighteyes and Fitz. That came out right.
