It was a great book with a fitting ending and a fitting defeat of the Bane. Of course I would have liked for the actual death of the Bane to have been less anticlimactic but at least he still died. And after all the times it was said that an elemental mate would bring down/defeat the Bane, it wasn't even her that killed him. 
 Also, I'm glad that Titus didn't die, and neither Iolanthe. But while it can be assumed that they both end up together in the end in the epilogue, I would have liked it to be actually written that they got together and married and whatnot. But still it was a great ending to this story although I would still like to know what the future holds for Iolanthe Seaburne and Titus VII.
