Publishers Weekly Praise for Cinda Williams Chima:Centuries of wizardly scheming, slavery and slaughter reap apocalyptic fallout in this final volume of Chimas trilogy… Heroes and villains alike are swayed by achingly human motivations into disastrous choices with devastating consequences…The resolution is-like the end of childhood itself-tentatively hopeful, if not triumphant.
