There were parts of this that I really liked, but the central romance(s) were not my cup of tea at all. If I'm being honest, I got the ick a fair few times. I also found this structurally the weakest of the trilogy, with an awful lot going on that doesn't leave much room for developing crucial characters like Deka and Shahar. It was a satisfying ending, though, particularly with the short story about Oree.
