The final book in this trilogy is here. Fans of these books will be sad but happy with this book. While everyone is back, this book really has three main POV voices in Jade, Ferth, and Suza. All three are tested.

It was great to see Ferth and Suza grow so close with their relationship. Jade kind of became a favorite of mine. She may be an assassin who is supposed to be cool, but she has a lot of heart as well as being a fierce warrior. Strong female characters are always welcome. I am sad that this is the last time I will see this world and the characters, but they got their happy ending. I look forward to seeing what Mary comes out with next.

These are fitting last words to the conclusion of this trilogy:

Let us carry the sacrifice on. Carry it on.
Grant us their mantel of honor that we might carry it ever onward.
Ever forever onward.
