I just finished it, and frankly, I was disappointed. I’m not sure if it was just my mood, as I was really tired when I read most of it. It seemed to move sorta slow, and everyone seemed to repeat the same things over and over again. He didn’t manage to really surprise me with anything, though I suppose that’s the result of too much thinking on my part. Also, LB is really bad with writing dialogue, particularly love scenes.
However, Rulalin pleased me greatly. I was so happy with the way LB did him, and other’s reactions. LB also achieved his purpose in writing these books: he did manage to make me long for the time of restoration and renewal.
All in all, it wraps up the series satisfactorily, and if I had been in a better mood reading it, I think I would have enjoyed it more. Oh well.
