The saga draws to a close, and there's twists and turns aplenty, from tragedy, loss, reckoning and ultimately - as the final twist shows - the ultimate betrayal.
This is a fast paced gallop to the finish line, as old scores are settled, new lives are forged, and Rikardon and Tarani head back to where it all started, to finally resolve the situation in Raithskar.

Like the preceding volume, this is a straight ‘OK’. It takes us quite pleasantly and competently through the steadily unwinding plot, without providing any scenes that I find compelling. I read it just to find out what happens next.
It’s instructive but mystifying to see that an author can write this fluently and competently and yet produce a novel that lacks fizz and doesn’t engage my enthusiasm. Some other authors may not seem to write any better, but they succeed in writing scenes that I positively enjoy reading and want to return to again and again.
The plot is well contrived in that it goes along through seven volumes at a fairly brisk pace, always coming up with some new twist and turn; and it all seems to fit together so well that I think the whole series must have been sketched out in advance, before the detailed writing began.

I learned that I would be very happy if I could ride a very big cat which shared a mental link with me. I would also find it beneficial to have mind control over others as long as I used this power for good, not evil.
