This series really gets better with each passing volume, and the finale isn't an exception. It's a wonderful adventure with great characters, some surprises and a satisfying ending.

It's certainly not perfect; some characters' fate felt a bit too much like an afterthought and there was a bit of handwaving required, but I had no problems looking past that. I liked this a lot more than I had initially expected, and absolutely fell in love with Royce and Hadrian.
