5 Stars
WARNING! If you haven't read the previous books, do not
start here!
I found this book a satisfying conclusion to the series –
and, yes, I noticed a few open ends by the ending. (Those open ends are not
major plot points.) Perhaps another book? Another series? Dare I hope?
Truly, I was sad to leave the world of Paks. Moon does such
a marvelous job of creating worlds, and their populations, I felt as if most of
the good guys and gals were long lost friends I had just met again, and now
they are gone again. But those open ends give me hope they have only left a
while, and soon we'll be reunited.
I have consistently given Moon 5 stars for this series. One
reason is I read them all in one fell swoop, and couldn't remember certain
details from one to the next. Yes, some books were better than others, and
parts of some books were better or worser (that's a word, trust me) than other
parts. But over all, I could not put the series down until finished at some
un-Girdish hour of the morning.
And I really, truly, hope Moon is going to give us another
romp through the world of Paksenarrion. But if she doesn't, I am grateful for
the romp I just completed. Thank you, Elizabeth Moon, for many hours of
enjoyment and escape from the mundane features of my life.
