Bokomslag och beskrivning av bokens handling hämtad från Bokus.

Skönt att få avsluta en serie, speciellt denna då den inte har varit helt i min smak. Det har varit mestadels bara krig och umbärande, men jag ångrar inte att jag har läst den, för det har varit passager i serien som jag gillat ändå, speciellt denna sista innan slutet, som jag inte riktigt förstod och det klingade bara fel för mig varför Rin gjorde som hon gjorde...även om jag förstod, och sen var slutet väldigt öppet, för vad som kommer hända nu...
