Since I read the rest in the series I wanted to read the last book too. I took me ages to get through it. Mostly because it was a tedious walk through caves and basicly the novel takes on the same subject covered in the other books: jalousy, Aylas accent, her medicin skils, her clan heritage etc. Basicly endless repeat.

The big finale is that the "how children are made" becomes known by everybody and put in the song of the mother. Not any other surprises or a big finale.
