Nice ending to this series. Elisa does grow and change, and is more willing to act like a leader. The godstone continues to be enigmatic: we don't learn where they come from, or why; and its existence for Elisa is not exactly pertinent to her battles. I would have liked to have seen a bit more exploration on that subject - I found a few too many scenes in this third book rather derivative (the Mines of Moria, anyone?). But all in all, a satisfying series.
