This trilogy has been very hard to rate, and this final entry may be the hardest of all. The first half lacked most of the characters I had grown to like and love, was painfully slow, made the main character even more passive than before, and spent most of the time with characters I didn't care for.
But at some point in the second half things picked up and there managed to be a pretty good resolution. The story itself goes places and has ideas that I never quite come across in other books, and the writing is still as great as ever. It just doesn't really come together as a whole. It doesn't leave me feeling empty or fullfilled or anything, I'm mostly just indifferent. I'm relieved of the fate of certain characters and how certain issues were resolved, but I can't quite say I really liked the book (or trilogy) as a whole.
