I really enjoyed this series. The non-human, anti-hero Garth is a good character. Like all of the books, this is about Garth trying to avoid the fate that the gods have dictated for him and stay alive. It may not have quite the alien feel it should, this is still unique, interesting fantasy.

Overall, I liked the Lord's of Dus series and felt the author brought the series to a satisfying close. I will say that this is a workable series if not spectacular. While many interesting elements where in the mix, the author took lighter directions for the characters and only slightly touched upon the moral challenges the main character faced.
