3.75 stars. Read as an audiobook.

While this was still a good book and a very satisfying ending to the Fionavar tapestry, it is (I think) the weakest link in the series.

That being said it is still a good book. There is an epic final battle that keeps you on the edge of your seat. I legitimately cried at some of the deaths, but felt like every characters ending fit perfectly.

The weakness is in the beginning of the book, it took a while for the story to pick up for me again.

Some of the Tolkien tributes hit you in the face pretty hard, but I thoroughly recommend this series to any fantasy lover.
