I mostly read this just to finish out the story, it seems to have wandered so far from the Norse mythology that peppered the "prequel".

A much quicker read than either of its companion novels, but still beautiful and a satisfying conclusion.

I always get a bit scared about picking up a book by Bear, because I end up either loving them or wishing I could unread them, but happily this is in the "love" category.

Great depth of characters, except possibly for Heythe, but I may be missing that because I didn't read By The Mountain Bound. Love Mingan's role in this one.

I loved All the Windwracked Stars, but neither of the sequels has really done it for me. The pacing of this one was frustrating -- it seemed like nothing much happened until the very end. And it was all about Cathoair and his angst/manpain, and I didn't really care about him.
