I think that I’ll have to re-read the entire series to really “get” this book. There were just too many details, too many people that I didn’t remember.

This book did wrap it all up, though. Everyone got what was coming to them, in one way or another. Richard made some new friends and ran across a few old ones.

It was a good story but I think that I am going to have to write about them like I do the Anita Blake books so that I can keep track of everyone and everything. These books are *complicated.*

For some reason, it never occurred to me to wonder before whether or not these books are anti-Christian. The Imperial Order behaves similarly to early Christians, though I think more organized and more bloody. It wasn’t so much magic that they were trying to rid the world of but opposition. There are similarities between The Order and Christianity. Interesting. I’m going to have to pay attention to that as I re-read the series at some point.
