![]() ![]() So, the interesting story was frequently interrupted by potential suitors being paraded through the pages for Faia to consider and we frequently had to listen to her thoughts about why she wanted a husband and why this or that man wouldn’t do. She was having a harder time finding ways to be useful, and she was starting to feel like her life couldn’t possibly be complete without a husband. She seemed to be having a bit of a crisis. In this book, however, Faia lost a lot of the qualities that I had liked so much about her. She had been a strong character, capable of taking care of herself, never in a serious romantic relationship but perfectly capable of interacting with and having meaningful friendships with other people while finding ways to make herself useful. ![]() Unlike the other books, this book is told from the perspective of a single character – Faia, the main character from the original book. I think the humor has steadily and subtly increased throughout the series. Nothing uproarious, but there were several little things that made me smile or chuckle. ![]() I also liked that there was humor in the book. We learn a lot more about Arhel, the part of the fictional world these books are set in, and how it came to be the way it is. One of the things I liked was that it took the one thread I hadn’t thought was wrapped up well in the previous book and spun an entire story about it. This third and final book in the Arhel series was another fun and quick read, although there were things I both liked and disliked about it. ![]()
