Last book of a trilogy. It's been quite a while since I've had a chance to take a run at a whole trilogy at once- usually I'm champing at the bit for the next one to come out. But I waited long enough for these that I got to read them all within a week. This is a solid fantasy series. The feel is dark, the characters are flawed and realistic. The action does not disappoint. My favorite character, the torturer, is possibly the best anti-hero I've read since Jeffrey Lindsay's Dexter. He is smart, perceptive, pessimistic, paranoid, does horrible things, and yet you end up rooting for him. I'm still trying to decide whether to keep these books or turn them into the used bookstore- I don't know whether I will read them again or not. But definitely good for an action fix.
