I ended up enjoying this series more and more the further along I got into it. The first book didn't quite impress me, but with the second and third books, more and more depth was layered in, and I could see what was being set up with the first book. But there were still plenty of other things I didn't see coming. I wanted the characters to come together one last time, but that's just life, isn't it? They all received proper endings, as far as I'm concerned, although I would have liked to see Archeth confront Jhiral at the end, but imagination is just as good. Egar the Dragonbane died a fitting death, which was really the only way his arc could have ended because there wasn't much character development for him throughout the series other than dealing with aging and the existentialism tied up therein. Ringil's ending was confusing, but after thinking about it, he was a very much the anti-hero, and he had been toyed with by powerful beings throughout the series, so I interpret his ending as one where he gets to exist in a land where he doesn't have to worry about fighting or war anymore, even if he is stuck there forever. This book was dark, and it took me over a month to read it, but it was worth it. I ended up enjoying it because it was unlike any other series I have read. ( )
Denouement? Who needs a denouement? A more than satisfying end to the series. I really like the way Morgan is able to write these fantastic characters and environments with super interesting world building while keeping parts of all three shrouded and mysterious. Is it Fantasy or actually SciFi, I don't know! and not knowing is awesome! ( )

Call for justice or explanation, and the sea will thunder back with its mute clamour. Men's accounts with the gods do not balance.

And the two of them huddle together around the new spark of life they've been handed by a bad-tempered, broken-mouthed god gone away.
