Skybowl

A final end to the world of Sunrunners that Melanie Rawn has painted. An end... and a new beginning. This certainly upped my enjoyment a notch compared to books 1 and 2. I loved this one as much as the original trilogy.

The pacing of the story is fast, and there's no let up as events unfold towards a final conclusion. War, violence, meaningless deaths, and even ethically-charged arguments regarding rape and abortion. The author certainly holds back nothing in trying to paint the sometimes pointlessness of the nature of war.

As usual, you can see the characters grow up, reconcile with themselves and others, and almost all of them come to redeem themselves at the end.

The final concluding chapters were both bittersweet and very touching. Both a reminder of earlier happier times and the makings of a new beginning. Take it how you will, but it's definitely an almost perfect close to what has been a grand series.
