Last Argument of Kings

My goodness. I seriously made it through this whole series expecting for something good to be at the end.

Even with an ending I hated, this was a good series. Throughout, the characters are colorful and full of flaws, the plot drags you along, and there are mysterious powers to keep you guessing.

Takeaway - society is terrible, people need to be herded by almost-omnipotent-not-so-benevolent-rich-men. < I reject this takeaway completely - I still think people can change, good things do happen, and society is not terrible >
