I enjoyed this book, though not as much as the previous book in the trilogy. It was longer than book 2 - understandable, given it was the final book in the trilogy, but it FELT so much longer. The pacing was inconsistent, the plot throughout the middle of the book seemed to crawl along and then the last few chapters moved through at a blistering pace. I did appreciate that although everything was wrapped up in a neat little bow at the end I was still left with a feeling of uncertainty, which was in keeping with the characters’ personalities and journeys throughout the series. Broadbent’s writing is easy to read and this is definitely a series I will recommend to people wanting to read fantasy, especially if they’ve never read it before.
