This has been such a great series, each new installment is like a present in my stocking.Love the magical world and system, throughout the series you've got coming of age, harrowing escapes, meeting new and interesting races and creatures in various environments, small and huge battles, the enemies such as the queen and then the brotherhood were perfect foils. This one even had a couple of cool boss fights. Although I cry total hypocrite on the 2nd one.*****SPOILER TIME*******The underground sequences in the series were awesome and the Vathari are the race I just loved and I was hoping and hoping they would show up and when they did it was everything I hoped for.Personal shoutout to DW, thanks for not only working in the stone skin but using it in a meaningful fashion.Good job tying up a lot of things in the series and creating a conclusion/new starting point. Many things were wrapped up including whats-her-face, brotherhood as a function of Rane, Thad's personal recklessness tempered yet still being quite brave and selfless.A couple of thoughts going forward -- Hope to see the continuation of the mages god pilgramage (he's got 3 of 7?)- wouldn't mind seeing Thad take on a personal apprentice (padwan)- keep writing and I'll keep buying
