3.0 out of 5 stars Oh yes, it ends abruptly. (possible spoilers), June 6, 2005
It ends so quickly with so many things unanswered or forgotten that it HAS to be a set up for another book or series. It isn't that I necessarily wanted a "happy" ending. I just wanted some resoultion, good or bad. Here are a few things that I can remember (possible spoilers):

Remember the book that was such a big deal in chapter one of book one? Everyone had to get a hold of it because it had secrets about the Days? Well, forget it because it's barely hinted at.

Daylan Hammer, Borenson's quest, etc.? Dropped. There's mention, and it's key for some of the characters, but after that, nothing.

Waggit who?

Erin has a large part in this book. Ultimately, though, nothing comes of her story and that plot is dropped.

Another key character is introduced in Inkarra, but he's there only to move the story forward, apparently. Repurcussions to his actions were not told.

Borenson discoveres a new rune, and must get to a facilitator to show it to them, but that is forgotten.

There's more, but what's the point. I was going to give this four stars, but with the abrupt ending, I'm giving it 3. It's still a solid read all the way through, I was just hoping for more resolution.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Break from Endless Epics, December 25, 2003
By 
R. C. Smith "jam_ing" (Bancroft, WI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Yes, the other reviews were right in that it has a very abrupt ending, and the final chapter has a pace that leaves the reader wanting an endowment of metabolism, but there IS an end. How many fantasy series coming out of the '90s can say that? The pace leaves the characters a little less developed than I would have preferred, but not so much so that you can't cheer for them. I was pleased with this book for its intense action and closure (I'm not saying more isn't forthcoming, but this story line is done).

3.0 out of 5 stars A Bit Dissapointing, December 24, 2003
By A Customer
I believe Craig Daniel's review summed up all that I wanted to say about it. And, like Craig, I would of given this book a 2 if it weren't for the other three books. And, unfortunetly, I don't think I'm interested in this series anymore...

Beware, fans of Farland. This book may surprise you in a 'bad' way.
