** spoiler alert ** 
 What words can I say?... So much happened in this book. I actually put it to the side for about a month before finishing it, because I feared what was going to happen at the end. However, Maria V. Snyder did not disappoint. Tohon is killed and finally put to a stop, Flea is back and well, Belen has reappeared (mostly) unharmed, and Kerrick and Avry are setting the date! Snyder wrapped things up so satisfactorily in those last few pages of the book. And Kerrick will not stayed bound to the living green for all his life. Everyone who loves fantasy should read this trilogy!!
