Words can't describe how perfect this series is for me. This third installment does nothing to change this. It is very hard for me to think of a series that has a better balance of mystery, magic, and action with details that make it feel very grounded in the time for someone who's had an interest in that period. What's more is that grounded, solid, characters have a wonderful variety of interpersonal dynamics between them. There is an emphasis in limitations, of exploring your own development and the ability for others to change not only your own direction but to teach or assist or reversely to grow in one way from your influence.
It was wonderful to see a magical element shown to have extreme potential but the counterpoint to it. But more so, that there are things that can and should only be achieved as a network for the sake of all. Brillant, wonderful, I don't want to start the last. It's too soon. even if there are novellas floating.
