Gier writes a magnificent finale to such a great series. As with the rest of the trilogy, the character, writing, and world building were immaculate and thoroughly enjoyable. I must recommend, after rereading it this last time, that the reader read the chapter endings that are little exerts as well as the prologues and epilogues in this series. I read them for the first time and it gave a whole new ending to the novel!
