In the end, the legacy we leave behind is one wrought in truth and action.Secca was never my favorite (I still miss Anna), but she does show growth in this final installment of the Spellsong Wars. Facing not only the might of Sturinn directly, but even her own liege and his cowardly manner. If not for the legacies in spellsongs and friendships forged by Anna, it all would have been for naught. Here we see how terrible Spellsongs can truely be, how low people will go for power, and how high self-sacrifice can raise someone.Plus, the Maitre is (was) an idiot.Good end to a long tale, with a little left over for a sequel if Modesitt ever planned to expand the universe (like with a prequel)... hint, hint...
