Not my favorite book of the series (#1-Written in Red has that honor), but not a bad *sob*ending*sob* to a wonderful urban fantasy series. I have reread this series (through Book 4) twice and will be rereading it again, probably sooner than later, because I love the characters and the world so much and wish I could be part of the human pack. (I have fantasies of the Terra Indigene, particularly Tess, being real and taking care of a few of our most pressing problems *cough*SCROTUS*cough* in some really imaginative and unpleasant ways.)
