Like all books in this series...it has a different protagonist, but also uses and interacts with some of the other protagonists of the previous books and side characters.

This is the fullest of all the stories of the Tufa in our world. It may be the final book in the series, but it also may be just a way stop...along the way. We can see him writing more in this world...and in many ways...we hope he does.

The world building that has been built over six books has been incrimental, but this is the most SOLID it has appeared the entire time (even still, there is a LOT that we do NOT know).

Because time plays differently whenever you deal with the Tufa...we could get another book that butts up next to this book...or one twenty years from now. 

We really enjoyed this series. It allowed many discussions on how we felt along the way. It was fun for us to read alternating chapters, but then also listen to it in audiobook format, too. The full experience. When Marie read...I was able to pick out things, and when I read, she did too. This was a great series for us to jump fully into. We read these six books in FIVE days. Thank you.
