Before listening, I noted many previous reviewers were upset a large majority of this book takes place in another city. While presented as a negative, I found this to be immensely enjoyable and loved discovering this history and goings on of another race within the game world. Many of the quests and adventures that take place outside the valley will have a direct impact once the players return and is worth your investment of time to listen. As book 3 is clearly presented as an end to the entire series, I will say I was both surprised and yet not so much by this ending. Some aspects of the series end were easily predicted while others were a pleasant and clever twist of events. Overall score for book a3 nd series – 5 stars.
