The final book of the Tredana trilogy has very little to do with Tredana or the other cities and places of the first two books. She bring back most of the same characters, killing off many without even a look backwards, and then embarks on this new world that just seems telling of the story of Tamerlane and the peoples of the Central Asian Steppes. A few bitd of magic tossed in here and there and a meandering and rather senseless plot line and it was overall a very unenjoyable read. So sad she decided this was the way to conclude the series that started so brilliantly in The Broken Citadel, I wish that had been the only book.

Stalled out on re-reading this; I think it feels very predictable and humdrum. DNF graveyard! ( )
