The last in the Servants of Ark trilogy, this book, again, takes place a generation after the previous one. We meet Yve, an exceptional female wizard, and her familiar, a dragon who only halfway exists in this world. The characters and situations that the book mentions are interesting enough, but the characters never really come to life, and events are repeatedly just left kinda hanging.... Yeah, the world has to be saved, or destroyed, or something, but I just wasn't feeling it. ( )
