Friedman caps of the tale resoundingly. The last book breaks new ground as finally we begin to unravel the mysteries surrounding the Lezu and the Patriach adds some new spice to the proceedings. All in all its an interesting series but cant help but think this could have been done in 2 books. No more Friedman for a while as its pretty tough reading.
