This is the third book out of four in the Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone series and I enjoyed it a lot – about as much as I enjoyed the second book.  This book felt a little more concentrated on a smaller set of story lines and characters, although that perception may be inaccurate.  I think in reality it had close to the same number of characters, but fewer distinct storylines because events have begun merging together more.  However, the over-all story seems to be getting progressively more intricate and interesting as it goes on and the world continues to gain more and more depth.

This book explained a lot more about some aspects of the world and its inhabitants.  By the end, I felt like I understood the big picture better. However, there are still lingering questions that will hopefully be answered in the fourth and final book.  Some interesting events also occurred near the end, and a couple of choices were made that I’m sure will lead to more trouble.  I look forward to seeing what happens in the final book, and I hope the ending will bring everything to a satisfying conclusion.
