A very satisfying conclusion to a great series. Brent Weeks amazes me in his ability to maintain suspense and tension between characters for the entire series, and all without killing off important characters. 
 I will admit that there was something about the first chapter of this book that felt a little weak to me, the prose or dialogue grated just a bit, but it quickly got over that and flew onward and upward all the way to a glorious finish. 
 So many good characters, and a wonderful plot. I will look forward to reading this again.
