I've loved this series and now I'm one book away from the bitter end. I've fallen in love with almost all of the characters and I've hated the ones I was suppose to hate. All of the characters are fallible, especially Amaranthe. She is the heart and soul of her reg-tag group and is a bit OCD (I can SO relate). From the Sicarius we met in the first book, he's slowly evolving into...a person you could like. Maybe not be friends with, although I'd want him on my side in a fight. Both sides are equally convinced in what they're doing is the right thing and that leads to personal conflicts. Making them all that much more human. With Amaranthe there is no sitting on the fence, she'll talk you into joining her cause, before you now it.Lindsay Buroker knows how to keep the pace going, without beating you to death with overly exaggerated action sequences. There is an awful lot of action but it follows seamlessly. She can also maintain a sense of tension without wearing you out. Her interior spaces are so well defined you can almost see them. She paints with words and I love what she paints. Her books are fast and easy reads. Not overly Steampunk, maybe a bit more SiFi, but still a fun read.I've said this in other reviews, but I hate to see this series end. I feel there is so much more to know about the different characters. I'm sure they each have a fascinating back stories. I'm going to miss them all.
