Tir Alainn trilogy, book 3

From the back cover:
It began as a witch-hunt. But the Master Inquisitor's plans to eliminate all traces of female power in the world hav expanded to crushing the Sylvalan barons who oppose him--and to destroying the wellspring of magic in the Mother's Hills.

Faced with this evil, humans, witches, and the Fae become uneasy allies. But even together, they aren't strong enough to stand against the armies the Inquisitors are gathering. So they look for help from their last possible ally: The House of Gaian. The reclusive witches who rule the Mother's Hills. The witches powerful enough to create a world--or to destroy one...

And the witches' long-held creed "Do no harm" is about to give way to a more important one: Survive.

What a great book! I admit that I hesitated to start this book because I knew that there were going to be some losses and I didn't want to know that anything really bad had happened to any of the characters that I had grown to love. And I was right. There are some losses. But there are also some joys and a few surprises. All in all, I'm glad that I read this trilogy and got to know these characters. I just want to know more about them!!

I was disappointed that we didn't get to see much of Ari and Neall. I also would have liked a little more in the end about what happened to each character. Perhaps Bishop is leaving it open to write more books or perhaps something like with Dreams Made Flesh? I really do hope that something like that comes out in the future. I'm attached to these characters and I'm not ready to let them go!
