This is Book 6 of The Codex Alera series.

Butcher seemed to have written himself into a corner by the time he got to this book, but he managed to pull off an ending that was plausible, satisfying, and just a little bittersweet. With this conclusion, Butcher was able to put the finishing touches on all of his characters. There are still elements of the story that were left open-ended, but I was not frustrated by this as I have been by other authors. The truly important things were covered, and it left Butcher with enough wiggle room to revisit the series should he ever decide to continue the story (which I really hope that he does, although he reports no immediate plans to do so).

In all, I am very sorry to see this series end. It was a great ride with some truly memorable characters, incredible fight scenes, and fantastic storytelling. I congratulate Butcher on another success and hope that one day we might see these characters again...
