An end to Legacy of Orisha books

This is my least favorite book of the three books in the trilogy, that's not to say that the book is bad though. Keep in mind that there are some years since I read book two in the series. The story flows well, but in some way's feel a bit rushed, I'd love to have some more time spend developing the plot, characters and the world. We get to explore new areas but we just seem to scratch the surface of them. The characters are interesting to follow and they have some good development through the story although it suffers a little bit for power-creep which unfortunately lessens the impact of the bad guys in the book. Definitely worth reading if you've enjoyed the other books in the series.
