Review: The Oracle's Queen

The Oracle's Queen by Lynn Flewelling
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As much as I tried to stretch the pleasure of reading the last book by Flewelling I haven't read before, I raced through the last quarter of the Oracle's Queen in one night (and then had troubles getting up the next day). It is certainly a worthy completion of the trilogy. Most of the book reads as an epic fantasy with adventures and battles, but the end is both so sad and hopeful, it's heart wrenching. For every one lucky enough to find love and happiness, there are dozens lonely and broken hearts even in the general happily ever after. And even that doesn't matter much, because everything and everyone will be forgotten.
