What an amazing conclusion to a brilliant trilogy.
The first 1/3 of this book deals with ramifications left over from the ending of The Silver Hand. It is the calm before the second storm. The final 2/3 of this book sends the characters into an incredibly oppressive and harrowing journey that leads to the final and captivating conclusion.
In places I found this book to be equally as suspenseful, dark, and brooding as the second book. When the book ended I was hungry for more. It left me with that haunting feeling you get when you finish a book but the book isn't finished with you.
Lawhead is a Christian. While there are Christian themes strung together throughout the trilogy, they are subtly woven into the plot, are not overdone, and are never preachy. Lawhead strikes a delicate balance. He writes very good fantasy that happens to have some Christian themes, which is different, I think, than trying to write purely Christian fantasy. His approach appeals to a broader audience and the quality of the writing is better because of it.
It is rare that I ever re-read a book or series, but I can see myself coming back to this trilogy in the years to come. I enjoyed every page and was truly sorry to see the adventure come to an end.
