Wind and Truth

This is probably my favorite series in all of fantasy, although I am still processing the conclusion to the pentalogy. The book manages to explain most of the mysteries and tie up the majority of the threads, creating a satisfying conclusion, while still managing to set up the next series by ending on a cliffhanger—or perhaps not quite a cliff, but certainly a steep incline. Granted, while reading, you may find yourself constantly asking, "Does it really need to be this long?"—but the payoff in the end is always worth it.
