This series keeps getting better, although it also keeps getting darker. The scrapes the characters found themselves in in this book were stranger and more desperate than any of their adventures have been thus far.
There were quite a few new characters introduced to the story, and while that's gutsy to do in book five, it absolutely worked. My favorite was Ekaji, a Zialan warrior, who volunteered to be Reagor's bodyguard. Reagor's storyline has been one of my favorites, and he had a prominent role in this book, but bringing in a character from his past really made him seem like an actual person rather than the larger-than-life role he has to play as god and a king.
Rindle is still hanging out with Jace and Narine, and the three of them are guaranteed fun. There is a scene in which Narine transforms herself into an old hag and pranks quite a few people. I do blame Jace, but I think he's still having the time of his life, so the marriage is going great!
Ghenton continues his mad march across the land. He seems unstoppable and is the major villain of this portion of the story. Well, one of them. Xavan's plans are beginning to come to fruition as well. And there are a lot of deaths, old friends and new, and a few enemies, but the world seems more and more doomed as the saga continues. I have no idea how Jeff will resolve all of the loose ends with only one book left in the series, but I've been surprised every step of the way thus far, and expect I will be again.
I edited this book, which I suppose makes me biased, but I also thought it was a fantastic addition to the Wizardom saga and look forward to reading the next book.
