Nick's opinion:
Another entertaining book in the Deverry series. There are obvious loose ends, promises and situations for more books... but this book does form some sort of conclusion. In book one (Daggerspell) a man made a mistake and vowed to correct it. Four hundred years later -- in the fourth novel -- that mistake has been corrected. Meanwhile, heroes & villains have come and (sometimes) gone, empires explored, revolutions stopped -- or possibly just delayed -- and children with strange potential have been born. Is this the end? No way! This is an entertaining book, though the main adventure is almost independent of the dynastic "over-theme" of the entire series. One great bonus -- especially having just read The edge of the world -- this one book has a beginning, a middle and an end! On the down-side... I'm glad that I skipped books 2 and 3. I suspect that I would have been annoyed at their diversions from the overall dynastic theme.
