As with the previous two books in this series I finished this one quickly. I had read spoilers about the book and was quite apprehensive how bad it might turn out. I am surprised now that I was fine with what the people complained about. I think it fits with the story and characters and avoids some "happy-ever-after" pitfalls that I tend to abhor. This wasn't the best of the three books but the trilogy overall was made better by it and I think I should upgrade my initial rating of the first book ;)
