I actually ended up not completely hating Jandu. He grew so much as a person and learned so much about not being a sexist idiot that I actually kinda liked him at the end???

This book was thus infinitely better than the first two. I understand that we had to watch his growth in order to get it but I disliked him so much throughout the series that I can't even go back and let go of the fact that he caused me so much pain through his horridness.

The writing of these stories is good though and the plot is interesting enough that I continued reading even through I wanted to burn Jandu. I would recommend them only read all three together and only with a heads up that Jandu actually literally does grow in a good way even if you have to wait until almost the end. ( )

The "trilogy" or rather this story in three parts is not without its flaws, but overall a pretty good read. The characters had development and the author didn't shy away from killing a fair share of them. The final conclusion was rather satisfying and Marhavad can look forward to a better tomorrow.

I feel sad about Tarek's fate, but it wasn't an unrealistic ending for him. He made choices throughout the book that forshadow his ending from the very beginning, which nicely showed the problem with undeserved loyalty. Good choice by the author, although I wish it ended differently.
