This is my favorite of the series so far. Tavi has become an adult and is able to finally be in control, at least of his own Legion. I found the part with Issanna and Araris too long and tedious, though.

These are not the most earth-shattering of epic fantasies, but they are quick and entertaining. I like how women are main characters (not always the case in this genre...cough cough, Brandon Sanderson) and even if it’s basically American history (bad guy slave states revolt because the women-led abolitionist movement threatens to abolish slavery!) with some basic elemental magic and “races” of people (wise barbarians; Wolf people from across the ocean; and regular people who value those with magical powers, even though the leader among them will rise up with NO FURYCRAFFFT DUHNDUHN DUHNNNNN. Except he found it at the ens. Maybe. Guess I’ll have to read #4 to know!

My favorite of the series so far. I prefer a grownup Tavi to a teenager and many other characters are beginning to come into their own as well.

This series is still really well done fantasy, even if it is very predictable. Strong characters and solid writing elevate a predictable plot.

Another incredible book in this series! I won't say too much because basically everything I've said for the first two books holds true here. What I'll emphasize is that I loved seeing how things came together that had started as little seeds in book one and started to grow into major plot points, themes, or character arcs by the end of this book. Watching Tavi grow in his role in this book was incredibly satisfying.
