Even better than the first one, and with one of the best endings of any book ever, I think (and I mean this in every sense from "best epic ending battle" to "best final sentence").

Since I'm not that enamored with Traitor's Moon, I couldn't finish the fourth one and I pretend the one with the weird demon kid (WTF??) doesn't exist, I kiiiinda wish Flewelling had just called it quits after this one.

But on the other hand, I'm fairly sure I can't stop myself from picking up Book 6. God help me.
