I had high hopes for this book and in a way it did deliver.  It really wraps things up and leaves it open for a new direction.  Most of the things you have been waiting for should get worked out.  This book also falls into the trap of the previous books.  Most of the book is Anja and company doing the same old stuff.  Mainly whining about Lodinn and waiting for Jakob to fix things.  This fills 68% of the book.  Anja finally gets motivated and actually deals with the books description.  After that everything gets wrapped up very quickly and easily.  So easy that Anja's solution could have wrapped everything up before Lodinn ever showed up.  At the very least he should have been dealt with long before he left such a body count.  It was a very smart idea but it made a lot of what happened really pointless.  This series has turned into politics with a touch of romance on a small scale. Anja is the elder of the west but that has little impact.
