Pretty good closure for this part of the story. It leaves Ravirn and Mel with an almost clean slate to begin messing around in other places.An excellent thing about these books is that Kelly never uses Ravirn (or Mel) to move the plot along. Things happen in spite—rather than because—of Ravirn's best intentions, quick thinking and appropriate action. In other series, you find out what's happening immediately and have to suffer page after page watching the character with all the clues in front of them while they fail to put two and two together. Here, Ravirn solves the mystery, finds a way to fix the problem and yet, the bad guys are always on his heels complicating things. It's nice because you get all the excitement of an action-packed book without the all too common accompanying frustration that comes from reading the main character making stupid decisions to trigger said action.Another great achievement is that the author manages to update the heroes' powers in every book without writing himself into a corner. I'm tired of ending a book with a character gaining a new cool power only to find out in the next that it can't be used because ::insert lame reason here::.Looking forward to reading the next one.
