Nothing is so impressive and amazing that others can't s**t all over your parade, deny it ever happened, or make your life a living hell just because they're ignorant and/or a jerk. We just have a new beginning with the same old characters we love.īut wait, isn't our witch (ahem) just a LITTLE TOO OVERPOWERED? Especially with that last book going NUTS with the changes, more changes, and even bigger changes? This book is proof that a well-beloved UF series with an official "ending" does not have to End.

It really threw me for a bad loop both times I read it. :)Īs for the end zinger, with no spoilers, I do believe it'll be a new quest arc now that Ivy's problem and the demon's demesne issue is settled. Zombies, crappy Elves, Demons in daylight, and murderous dreamers are all pretty great, and I'm a big fan of the new magical Balance, but it's always the characters that make these books shine. Now, I just read this book last year, but it still deserves a good re-read on the heels of the rest of the series.Īnd frankly? It works as well as the rest of the series - which is to say, it's fun as hell and exciting and unfair and delicious and heartbreaking all over again.
