Well, I was at least partly right when I said in my review of the third book in this series that Fawn likely had a significant role to play in the endgame, so that's nice. Also, all of the speculative elements advanced nicely. I am largely pleased with the way the elements all came together to bind the story off at the end, and I really need to go back and re-read the entire thing, I think. I hated the first book so very much when first I read it, and I want to know if reading it with the knowledge of what it's setting up will help me appreciate what it was actually doing, rather than hating it for failing to achieve what it wasn't trying to do in the first place.
Anyway. Yay nifty Lakewalker mojo-stuff. Moderate eye-roll at Dag being the most OMG INNOVATIVE Lakewalker maker in, um, ever, apparently (only moderate because it's really pretty common for protagonists to be the absolute best X that has ever been seen, or at least since $LEGEND, but it does get a little old). The characterization in general is pretty awesome, though, and I'm a little sad I don't get to spend any more time with them. Another reason to re-read, I guess.
