This is a re-read, listening to this on family travel on the road. This concluding book to the trilogy within the overall series being somewhat fulfilling. This book pulls in more of the original characters, and there are a few different story-lines going on, which also happened in the previous two books, especially the last book. This has its own strengths and weaknesses. There is more individual character development, but it also drags on the natural flow of the story somewhat. I found the ending somewhat satisfactory, with plenty of loose threads to pick up for the next book. ( )
