Well, the series redeemed itself a bit, but just a bit. Once again, brides are kidnapped and they fall in love... ok we get it, in this world women have a chronic Stokholm syndrome issue. It might be genetic. 
 So, Miranda, Til's daughter, has been raised by Marak to be a King's Wife and marry Catspaw. However, a band of the last elves appears and asks Catspaw for a peace treaty in exchange for an elf bride. Of course, marrying an elf is better for the kingdom than marrying Miranda because this particular elf has very powerful magic. Therefore, Miranda is cast aside and her reason for living just disappears (dramatic isn't it?). She flees the kingdom and ends up in the hands of the elf leader... who also kidnaps her. 
 Let me tell you something about Miranda: she needs a psychologist and a psychiatrist and fast. Setting aside the Stockholm syndrome every woman has in this world, she also suffers from serious grandpa fixation, self-harming tendencies, and suicidal attempts. And the author makes it look that all this is OK. I'm mad just writing about it. 
 The major problem with this story is the characters. When we were starting to care for the characters from the first 2 books, because they were so short that we didn't have time to do it faster, 31 years have passed and they are set aside as secondary characters. New ones are introduced and not much of the lives and family of the old ones is mentioned. One of them even dies at the beginning of the book. This makes the reader not care enough about the new characters. I wanted the old characters to appear and learn more about how their lives have been. 
 So, what did I like? Not everything was horrible. Despite everything, the story about the elves and the sort of plot twist at the end were really fun. I kept thinking how the elves got together and how Nir managed to know everything he knows. I expected loose ends and frustration but his story really worked for me. I'm happy I finished it.
