The third and final book in the Birthgrave trilogy...

finds Tuvek/Vazkor nearing his quest for his mysterious witch/goddess mother. This book has more in common with "The Birthgrave" than its immediate predecessor, "Vazkor, Son of Vazkor". It has more of the epic feel, with Tuvek discovering, as his mother did, the realm and scope of his powers through his travels through strange and mystical kingdoms. This is classic Lee, with all the epic quality of "The Birthgrave" (though please read that first), and Tuvek/Vazkor's character is much more sympathetic and likable than in "Vazkor, Son Of Vazkor" as he grows gradually less bent on vengeance as the story progresses. If you loved "The Birthgrave" as I did, this is similar in tone, and worth reading as well.
