Facing capture or annihilation from all sides, the only hope the Human Garde have for survival is to stand together once and for all to fight back against their true enemies (Goodreads).
Admittedly, it has been a fair bit of time since I have read the preceding novels in this series, so that may have detracted slightly from my appreciation of this concluding novel, but this seemed largely like a rehash of the previous two books. The stakes and conflicts seemed to not evolve or develop more depth, and the grand scope of the Lorien universe, while impressive, seemed to backfire slightly, with so many characters popping in and out of significance. That being said, the writing quality established and developed over the course of the series continues to shine in this well-paced and action-packed final installment. What relationships between characters that do stand out are developed equally well, and most of the consistent main characters maintain a good semblance of depth and uniqueness. The final climax is slightly convoluted and wrapped up a little too quickly, but for the most part, this series ends on a positive note. 7.7/10
