I find it very strange that Kate Jacoby is not more well known. I love this series. I think the characters are powerful and well thought out. Through the series Kate rounds them off beautifully. The realism and decision-making further the plot and in this book we see the culmination of a five-book series. I personally feel that none of the books were redundant, as we find frequently in the genre these days. I will point no fingers :-)

Please return Kate, we need someone who can shown them how it is done.

One of the best series I have ever read. I originally read the first book when I was in high school but forgot about the series in the following years. I found the book in my bookshelf last month and read it again.

It had me hooked. I downloaded the rest of the series and was surprised to see very few people had heard of it. Action, intrigue, romance, magic and a fast moving plot. It has it all. For fantasy lovers who are looking for a new complete series that you probably haven't read, set in well thought out world you would be hard pressed to do better.

At last i have finished this series after 14 years. Happy to get a happy ending but expected a lot more from the finale. Still happy.....
