" I ripped through the first two books in this series months ago, but delayed reading the conclusion...not because I thought it wouldn't be good, but because I knew it would be DEVASTATINGLY good (emphasis on the devastating), and I had to psych myself up to find out what happened to everyone. I was not wrong. The last book in the series was fantastic, and also exceedingly bleak. And there's nothing I would change about it. "

" Disappointing ending to an otherwise enjoyable series. I really felt at the end " why did I read this. Nothing at all changed" the status quo was exactly the same at the end as the beginning. Some may enjoy the symmetry. I found it utterly unsatisfying. "

" An excellent end to the series. There was enough resolution to satisfy all the loose threads left hanging, but enough open-endedness in a couple of areas where there were clearly a couple of openings left for future stories. "

" No spoiler alerts here, so no worries there. I honestly finished the series feeling very much like it was rapidly wrapped up and manufactured to have an ending with a forced plot twist (or twists). The direction the characters took and the overall ending was inconsistent with the way they were written to beging with. I honestly felt completely unsatisfied with its completion and how unbelievable the motivations and actions and honestly down right bipolar personality shifts some of the characters seem to exhibit. It was as if they were totally different people. The author has real talent but the ending was awful...honestly. Trying to do this with no spoilers but had to share. "

" For God's sake, if you ever want to write a book where the overall thesis is "people and times don't ever really change" that's great, but could you NOT write an entire trilogy about it? Disappointing. "

" Totally discouraging ending. What is the message here? That the world is controlled by rich people with money, and nothing will ever change that? Not a message I need or want to have beaten over my head for three books, no thank you. "

" Fantastic ending to the trilogy. Very 'Realistic' with no one getting away clean if you catch my drift. All Abercrombies characters have been flawed which was why I liked this series, they end flawed as well. No redemption comes without a price. "

" Overall a very good book. However, a few strings I thought were tied up in a way that was a little unsatisfying - but the ultimate ending is perfect. Abercrombie has a way of taking something that would ordinarily be trite or cliche and absolutely turning it on its head. "
