I wanted to like it!

While the initial glimpse of the fantasy realm showed promise, Feist failed to really flesh out the intricacies in the story and left many unanswered questions.

The plot had potential, with intriguing elements and a promising premise, but it failed to capitalize on them. The first two books focus on multiple storylines with the main and supporting characters and so many seem pointless now. This third book feels like a shrug. A bit of a "meh, it's finished" by Feist. Even the "battles" felt washed out.

Overall pretty disappointing end.
