I was really impressed by this last installment of the Lyonesse trilogy. I felt that it was much more organized with a more relatable main character. It still had a lot of characters, but by this time, I had them all down pretty well. I also felt that the story followed the main character longer with fewer jumps to the subplots. It was more cohesive and overall read much better than the first two books. This book won the 1990 World Fantasy Award. I can't say it stands on its own. You have to read the first two books to know what is going on in this one. However, everything you need to know is eventually reviewed in this book, but you'd miss out on so much without reading the first two.
