Small issue
I love this book, but it's missing audio at the end of chapter 5.

Not the best of the trilogy
As I read this final book in the series, I often reflected just how far GGK has come as a writer (I read all his most recent novels prior to this series) - and there are moments in this series that come through in his later books (like the forest parts in book 1 and the raunchier book 2 reminded me of parts in The Last Light of the Sun). His writing is beautiful in this series but it really becomes glorious in later books which shows practice makes perfect. With that said, I liked that this book was just in Fionavar (no modern world like previous books) and I liked that everything was resolved with a mixture of final dramatic battles and meetings, and that those main characters that needed to find love and peace did and that evil is ultimately vanquished but at a cost- there were realistic but very sad losses. Very sad yet beautiful somehow. This is also a dense and complex book, and it drags on at times and is frustrating. The seer seems to bounce around without a handle on her abilities or purpose. I was left wondering what the purpose of Arthur was in this book - ultimately he is part of the myth that exists in a place like Fionavar but what does he really do- apart catching a kid- and what is his purpose apart from waking Lancelot? I was just a bit muddled in the endof this series and actually think I liked the previous two books better than the final. Narration was excellent as always and GGK writing brilliant as mentioned (if a bit weak compared with his later works).
