A powerful and emotional conclusion to a fine series
(Spoilers)
This stirring conclusion to a magnificent series is a powerful read that doesn't let you put it down!
The conclusion to the beautiful Glasswright's Series is a fitting end - all the loose ends are tied up, and the characters go through changes that help them, hurt them, and push them towards the finale.
The only recommendation I can make is that you read the other Glasswright's books before this - don't read it as a "stand alone" novel. Some details may be lost on you - such as exactly why Crestman is so furious with Rani, or the details of Rani and Tovin's past - if you do not read the entire series. Also, the end of the book is all the more bittersweet if you've known the characters for all 5 books.
The characters are beautifully written, and they are believeable to the core. Rani, Ranita, Rai... whatever you choose to call her - she is the remarkable hero in this tale. The king, Hal, goes through mental anguish that he thought he had overcome previously. The return of his rhymes is a chilling reminder of his fragile state, and Crestman's proclamation that Hal simply cannot exist without Rani have a ring of truth that chills the reader.
The imagery in the book of the Thousand Gods "visits" to Rani are vivid, and you can taste/hear/smell/feel/see the visions as clearly as Rani does.
I highly recommend this book to all Glasswright fans - if you haven't read the series yet, pick it up now!
Caps Off An Excellent Series
They're always saying that you can't judge a book by its cover, but effective and attractive cover art can go a long way toward selling a novel. I first became aware of Mindy Klasky's "Glasswright" series two years ago while shopping at Safeway and was immediately intrigued. At Mindy's web site I read the first chapter of each book then available, and I knew they were going to be very good. But, I learned long ago never to purchase an "in progress" series, for the sake of my own sanity.
When "The Glasswrights' Master" finally came out, I plowed through all five books in the span of a single week. Certainly, you'll want to read the others before this one. I'm hoping that the comments I'm about to make, as I briefly summarize the whole series to put "Master" in context, will not give away too many of the key plot points for those who are new to these books.
If there's one overriding theme of the "Glasswright" series that stands out for me, it has to be the vital importance of making the right choices, for the right reasons. My favorite character easily has to be the main protagonist, Rani Trader. She is a textbook example of how bad choices can destroy lives.
