Guy Gavriel Kay - The Darkest Road

The series really hits its straps with this one, the final in the trilogy. By this point, Kay has done the work needed to set up the characters and the mythology with which he's working, and the result is easily the strongest book of the three - the climaxes hit hard, one after another, and it picks up pace and scope as it goes forward. That still, it's still only good rather than getting anywhere near greatness as far as this kind of thing goes.
