Rae Carson's The Bitter Kingdom
It's always something of a relief when the last volume of a series manages to hit all the high notes, resolve all the plot points, and be entertaining enough to live up to everything that came before--and Carson definitely manages. This series is really action packed, and Carson manages to weave a lot of disparate threads into a cohesive whole. For a change, this one varies the narrative between protagonist Elisa and the captain of her guard, who have been separated, which keeps things moving and answers a lot of questions the reader would have had. I don't want to say much else for fear of spoilers, but I thought this was a GREAT wrap-up to Elisa's story. A/A-.
