Eli Monpress is clever, he's determined, and he's in way over his head. First rule of thievery: don't be a hero. When Eli broke the rules and saved the Council Kingdoms, he thought he knew the price, but resuming his place as the Shepherdess's favorite isn't as simple as bowing his head. Now that she has her darling back, Benehime is setting in motion a plan that could destroy everything she was created to protect, and even Eli's charm might not be enough to stop her. But Eli Monpress always has a plan, and with disaster rapidly approaching, he's pulling in every favor he can think of to make it work, including the grudging help of the Spirit Court's new Rector, Miranda Lyonette. But with the world in panic, the demon stirring, and the Lord of Storms back on the hunt, it's going to take more than luck and charm to pull Eli through this time. He's going to have to break a few more rules and work with some old enemies if he's going to survive.

To end a successful series is a decision not easily taken. Once you have crossed that line, it still is not easy to deliver a finale that matches up to what's gone by. So Spirit's End is a notch below the previous book but still a pretty good effort for a finale. Purely, because I felt a lot of the explanation was left to the last 50 pages resulting in the disjointed ending. But once cannot rate this book standalone. It brings to an end to an amazing series which delivered grit, determination and the power of human willpower, the power of freedom and a world without prejudice. We met some extremely memorable character and there were some goosebump moments too. But over and above that there were plenty of points where I found myself laughing out loudly much to the consternation of the fellow travelers and this only happens when the world around you is lost and you are living in the writer's world. Job well done Rachel. Cheers!
