The Sky-Blue Wolves

Decent read, but short - IMO, it's not really a novel, at a mere 341 pages, it's more like an extended short story (and expensive at $10 or so for something that short). It did wrap up the current saga, but definitely dropped a few hints of a new series with the next generation of children. I will say that a quarter if not a third of the book is spent on details of what people are wearing (which we've already had EXHAUSTIVE details about in all of the previous books) and what they are eating (was it really necessary to take up almost two pages describing the food at a feast?). Instead of fleshing out details of the story (there are huge time jumps in this book), it seems like he just decided to skim over most of the action and finish the book - probably a contractual thing. Almost like he was sick of telling this story and just wanted to be done with it so he didn't really take the time on the plots that he opened in this book. Worth the read to close out the story, but not his best work.

it definitely felt rushed to a conclusion. while entertaining I feel it lacked the depth of character and the world around them that could have been expanded upon. still leaving room for more entries into the world so far changed.

Was ok. Ended a long read...that's a tough job.
