A very satisfying ending to this excellent fantasy series, suitably bittersweet, and with more solid character development for the protagonists. I find myself most impressed with how fully the world of the Tree (in terms of ecology, cultures, etc) has been realised; with the fully-developed mythology and how even typical fantasy tropes, such as the use of prophecy, didn't go unquestioned; and with the author's insistence on the humanity of her characters and refusal to demonise even the worst of societies or to romanticise the rebels. The few flaws include some parts of the finale feeling somewhat fragmented, a few slightly clumsy shifts in viewpoint, and being a little too prone to telling rather than showing. All in all, I think Mary Victoria is a gifted author, and I'm looking forward to seeing how her talents develop. ( )
