Summary: Poor ending to a good story
Comment: The climatic conclusion to a well-written and developed story? Not exactly. In fact the ending leaves more loose ends than a cats yarn toy. It is a shame really, this was a good story, nice plot and interesting characters. However the story fragments left loose at the end are annoying. Why does Rovas train Jack, send him to kill the captain and then betray him? What doesn't Jack understand when he leaves Tarissa and her mother? I don't know and neither will you. What was the point of having Megan, Tawl's fallen angel, spend a year in the dungeon? Beats me. It is almost like Ms. Jones had something they were supposed to do at the end but either got bored with the story or rushed to finish.
This book ends more like the middle of a series than the conclusion. Will there be more? If so than it could be interesting. If not then this is a disappointing conclusion to an otherwise marvelous trilogy.

Summary: Excelent, Spectacular, and Wonderful!!
Comment: J.V. Jones is a brilliant writer!! Her marvelous contrivance of both character and plot make her triology an irresistible read indeed. I was lured into her saga by the endearing Jack, loyal Tawl, and headstrong Melliandra. Readers come to know and love them, almost as if they were real. Jones' potency of plot is equally unforgettable; from the truly sinister Baralis and his incessant scheming, to the inward torments of the more benign characters, never is there a dull moment. Her Master and Fool ended the trilology with stark power, and readers are left to impatiently await the arrival of a new, equally abosorbing series. All I can say is BRAVO, Miss Jones, BRAVO!

Summary: Tighly woven fantasy at its best!
Comment: For those of you true fantasy lovers, this is high fantasy at its best. I rarely give 5 stars to anyone, so 4 stars is not a knock in any way. Many modern fantasy authors believe more is better, but many times more is simply rambling on about how many buttons grace the dress a character has or or the exact type of candle sticks in a room. J. V. Jones introduces us to a group of characters we grow to love and care about, without all the rambling of many. She also know sthe correct amount of danger and violence to add without over doing the action. A fine writer and may she go on to finish many more series.Three books was a perfect amount for this series. Always leave your audience waiting for more, not burnt out with what you have to offer.
