Review title: A wonderful fantasy epic continues
Product review: Yes, there are depressing moments in this book, just as in life. Good does not triumph over evil without loss, without sacrifice. This book does have its very dark moments, and, if all you want in fantasy is dancing fairies and cavorting elves, you will not be happy here. If you are looking for a beautifully written, elegantly plotted, authentically characterized book, this is it. The finest (contemporary) on-going fantasy series suffers from no "sophomore slump."
