I certainly didn't hate this book, but I didn't love it either. I think I'm just burned out on these pretty unlikeable characters.

This was by far the best book of the three and I really enjoyed the dramatic transformation/return mid-way-ish through, and the description of what that was like for that character. There were some plot issues that didn't get resolved and some concepts that remained baffling throughout the trilogy, but overall I loved the ending and the characters and where they all ended up.

The first book is a little slow to start but by the end of the series I had tears of happiness. It ended perfectly.

avesmaria's review against another edition

3.0

Somehow the weakest of the three books. The writing isn’t as snappy, the dialogue felt forced, and also Quentin is still kind of a whiny nothing without much personality. I guess he does mature a little from the first book.

I was disappointed that the book did not include a scene of Asmodeus slaying Reynard in gory fashion and that it was just mentioned in passing by Julia.
