Some stuff got tied up it the second book of this trilogy, and the third one tied up some plots that were left over. It also dropped in a whole bunch of new plots. There is a lot of stuff happening here. Some of it gets tied up, some of it kind of fizzles out, and some of it is left not entirely resolved. At times, the pacing feels a bit off—the story could have been more spread out over the latter two of the trilogy's books, or maybe even the whole thing. Nevertheless, an enjoyable read.
