All good stories must come to an end...

And the end of the Traveler's League delivered on all counts (although, I may never forgive the author for what happened to Albion's orca!)! As we left off in The Pirates of Skuggi, Albion needs help and the only way to get it is through Smitty. But the Black Fox is on his own quest for redemption and he's going to need everyone's help to accomplish that. I especially liked the mystery surrounding the end of the story - there is enough of an open door for the reader to formulate their own opinion without feeling like the ending was rushed. And if that's not enough to bring you back to the final book in the main series, there's an age old battle going on between Neptune and the sea god Old Duppy to whet your interests. A father's love versus an old sea god's spite - what could go wrong?!? Will we find out what the Oracle meant in the Pirates of Skuggi? Will Smitty ever make amends with the Traveler's League? What will become of the Timepiece after all is said and done? Will Albion's past catch up with him in the worst way?

All this and more will be answered. So if you are still reading this review, why haven't you gone and bought the book yet???
