It is really a pity that this is the last book the author wrote before her death. Two are the main reasons. First, because Kestrel's past and potential future will remain a mystery since we've only had a glimpse of the first in this book).
Second, because I think the book is not equal to the previous ones in the series. The relationships are a little shallow and the identity of Orfeo is apparent even in the first one hundred pages of the book.
I am really sorry to give up this more or less great series and its intriguing hero.
Nevertheless, it was a good read and if my expectations had not been so high, based on the previous books, I would have really enjoyed it very much.
