I enjoyed this though the war was very quick and the aftermath/recovery was short. I liked the pacing in book two better- the first book dragged and the third rushed. But I still enjoy Canavan’s writing and this world and characters. I expected more from Lilia but I guess it leaves it open for the future. I was intrigued by her and Kallen’s relationship

and relieved when he turned out to be a good guy after all. Lilia/Anyi and Lorkin/Tyvara seem to be the next generation to focus on.

This is the 6th book of the two series that I've read from [a:Trudi Canavan|15890|Trudi Canavan|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1194378660p2/15890.jpg] and I actually like the Traitor Spy Trilogy better than the Black Magician Trilogy. Based on the few reviews I looked at before going into the second trilogy I was surprised this was the case because so many like the first trilogy better. The second trilogy is more subtle and more realistic about the issues we all have to consider in our lives. There isn't black and white there are always exceptions to the rules and how we deal with them is the story. The second trilogy explores this more and made me think more than the first trilogy. There were a lot of unknowns in the first trilogy and because we didn't know the main character of Akkarin very well he wasn't that fleshed out. I also felt that some of the characters were just there while and the actual storyline wasn't that complicated.
