Quick read but not exciting. Most of the main characters were hard to connect with because they seemed not entirely realistic. As this is the end of the series it felt a bit anti-climactic and inconsistent although the ending itself was unexpected. I think it is fine, but not really worth the hype. Also the book was not able to get me involved with the characters, the fantastic land and the message behind (if there even was one) it, like some of the older fantasy/scifi novels.
