What a bittersweet conclusion... a (mostly) happy ending for all and a lot of fun to read. I read this in more or less one sitting - bathroom breaks for the puppy were about my only distraction. I knew how all the sadness was going to settle around the characters... I just wish that remaining books had more about how these characters ended up... Though I do believe that Firesong appears in the "Owl" books - though he might have a different name, I think. I guess I mostly just wish that the "Owl" trilogy was more to look forward to... But, who knows, maybe a re-read will do these books well. I just have to get over the disappointment that unlike the past nine novels, the next ones don't pick up where they left off with a majority of the characters and settings' stories entwining. And I suppose it should be some motivation that after these "Owl" books, the brand new Mercedes Lackey book awaits me to read it!
