This was an interesting book. I picked it up at the library while in search of a new fantasy author. I'd never heard of Lynn, but she had good recommendations from two of my favorite authors on the back of the book, so I thought I would give it a shot.

I did enjoy her writing style - it was interesting...

This book is the grand conclusion to the Serrano Legacy by Elizabeth Moon. In my experience in most series, the first book is the best and the rest don't quite measure up. Not so with this series. Each book was a great read but this one, the last is definitely the best. In this one all the surviving characters...
