I remember being slightly disappointed with this book the first time around. After absolutely falling in love with the second book in the series, this one would have had to have been pretty spectacular for me not to rank it lower than the second. I never really got into the story or developed any affinity for the characters.
Unlike the previous two books, the miracles in this book stank of deus ex machina. They really did not make sense either. Alric's conversion felt a little too forced even though I could see how Windsor structured his background to lay the seed. In the end it just felt a tad too unbelievable which is really disappointing because of the "height" of the second book and because this is the final book in the series.
Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed it, just not quite as much as Maire or Riona.
