The Last Mortal Bond

Best book I read so far this year. Staveley keeps making the tale darker and darker and we see some characters get very strong definitions while some others are tragic right from the beginning. There are some memorable lines right through the book and some amazing set pieces. Strangely the final chapter is very short and leaves us with an abrupt feel but this might have been intended. Anyway the book caps of what is probably the best fantasy series written in the last couple of years and that is saying a lot. Kudos
