The Daemon Prism

It's sad to say goodbye to a good series. And I'm especially sad to have to say goodbye to the characters whom I loved so much! I wish, for one, Berg would give the Scarlet Pimpernal-ish Chevalier an adventure of his own. I do love his character so much!

That said, I think The Daemon Prism is the weakest of the three books, not that I'm saying it's terrible. I felt a little let down by the last few chapters as they seemed rushed and we didn't get to experience the adventure - rather, we were told that it happened. “Show, don't tell!” as they say. Still, a lovely series, though I felt the ending was really rushed. I felt like I didn't have a clear idea what was going towards the end, or what this world tha Dante visited was really like. Also, the resolution of Portier's tale was again, rather rushed, and I wished we had a more clearer understanding what happened.

This was amazing. The trilogy just kept getting better. In some ways, it reminded me of Bujold's Chalion books and that is high praise indeed! My only regret was the wretched narrator they used for Dante in this book.
