Absolutely a fabulous read. Loved the ending, which makes me all the more apprehensive about news that there will be more books. 
 There /are/ a few unanswered questions and plot lines that could get wrapped up. If they continue in the pattern of each book getting better (that first book was SO bad!) then I'll be ok. But if this turns into another WoT series or Legend of Drizz't I'm going to be really sad.
