I thought this book was way better than the other two, also, although I didn't like Rhys much at all. The idea of him was awesome, I was really intrigued that Wynne's son would be a Libertarian and they would butt heads over that, but... er. He was really bland. It seemed like the only reason he joined the Libertarians was to... shag Adrian, maybe? IDEK. I liked Maric a whole lot better.
Fiona showing up at the end was kinda dumb, also. She was not particularly smart or strong, or you know, in the Circle, so why on earth would she be the Grand Enchanter?
BUT THE TRANQUIL OMG SO COOL!! Pharamond's inability to control his emotions was really tragic and I was really moved by his last few scenes. And Shale was fantastic, the Abyssal Rift was actually written well enough to be scary, and I thought Cole's "powers" were really interesting. I say powers in quotes because... I'm not even sure they existed, that was really confusing.
Cole was a demon the whole time I guess? So maybe Rhys murdered people? Or maybe he didn't? I was confused too.
