This is the conclusion to
the Glass Thorn series. I really enjoyed Touchstone,
the first book. The second, Elsewhens and the third, Thornlost did not grab me as strongly but the
conclusion in this book was excellent.
The theatre group, Touchstone, finally addresses all the issues of the
first three books. It ties everything up
and provides a suitable ending for the myriad characters
Ms. Rawn has done a
masterful job in presenting an eclectic cast of characters. The characters often seem to be wallowing in
personal revulsion. Introspection is
carried to extremes often leading to depression. Ms. Rawn shows that people can deal with
their personal ghosts and addictions and over come them. Practically all the allusions to societal ills such as
discrimination, poverty, perversion that were made without being done with a
heavy hand are addressed.
I found this book far more
captivating than the previous four but sometimes things need to be seen to the
end to appreciate the whole.
I recommend the book.
