" This book was supposed to be the climax, and conclusion to the trilogy. I finished it feeling severely disappointed. Nothing happens. There were No epic battles, and no real focused goal or direction. Reading this book was the fantasy equivalent of watching the evening news each night. Same stuff, different day. Overall this series is an embarrassment to the Obsidian Trilogy. It seemed the authors wrote it because they had to, rather than because they wanted to. "
