Re-read as an adult changed my opinion
When I read the book as a teen, I was heavily disappointed. I wished for an exciting story line together with a good amount of romance. And what did I get? A clock running down, adult discussions and not much love. Now, years later I re-read the whole series. I was expecting to be disappointed by the final book again but actually I wasn’t. Of course the story is not as thrilling as in especially book one and two, but I liked how the characters kept true to themself. The dialogs felt realistic and it was great to dive into the original Cimmeria atmosphere for one last time on the final pages. Only, an epilogue at e.g. the next winter ball would have been a great ad-on.
