Admittedly, I am disappointed. That should be the end of these amazing, enthralling series? I have just finished the book and am frustrated frankly.
After band 6 I was wondering what will probably be telling in the last volume of the series yet. After the war, in order to it so since Volume 1 but almost always went was closed, there was a new queen and all the heroes of the series were again united in a final image. So I was excited to see what she would be well come to end the series. After band 6 yes there was also hope that they had regained their former greatness and would really deliver a worthy conclusion.
The book was actually enthralling, it read fluently and exciting even if I think throughout history subsided somewhat. As in Volume 4 and 5 I missed the lovable character drawings and the presentation of the dynamics between Alec and Seregil seemed a little flat to me. And I have not once laughed, chuckled, but not laugh while reading. When I am thinking of the really comical bodies of the other volumes (about the drunken Alec in Volume 6! Or Seregils transformation into a brick in Volume 1), but I think that's very unfortunate. It was for me to the Night Runners do so. But that may be a matter of taste.
However, stood with me also not really convinced a why this band is to be predestined to complete the story of Seregil and Alec and her friends. Flewelling opened again a completely new storyline that is, not quite: because they simply related for set pieces from the previous volumes that have been packaged in a new story: from each band a pinch and a particularly large pinch of Volume 2. And, What actually just a furious finale should have been, was in my opinion more a tepid infusion of truly grandiose end of Volume 2 ... and that too by repeating the greatest Unsäglichkeit from Volume 4 (deus ex machina anyone?)! I confess, I threw the book at the moment with anger even from across the room.
In short, in itself not a bad book, but somehow not a good finale. Band 6 would have been in my opinion by far the more dignified end of my favorite series.
