The whole series!

So well written, engaging, great character development. Loved it! Narration was perfect! Looking for the next series to read by Eve Langlais!

A mostly excellent conclusion

“Vague instructions again- yay!”
As much as cryptic fantasy annoys me, I have to admit that in this series it elevated the story.
Never have I been so entertained by the misdirects, twists, and yes, vague breadcrumbs of information dropped by The Goddess, the mother, the Highlord, Meric, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
What fun to guess where the story flows.

Minor downsides include a bigger sex fixation (more detailed, but still tame compared to the author’s other books), the majority of the book spent away from the Ninth Realm, and the absence of most of the characters from the previous books for all but a few chapters. That last one was very disappointing, because I was very much hoping that Hicks and Venna would form the Three Musketresses with Agathe for an epic climactic battle. The ending was still solid, just not quite as feminist as I thought a series dedicated to girl-power would be.

There is room for continuation of the series, or perhaps a spinoff.
If so, I would gladly plunge back into the mist.
