Though it has elements in common with the much better series beginning, Book Three is mostly a muddled mess of rape, murder, and chaos. There are characters in there I very much wanted to know more about; too bad, Fisher had nothing to say.

I found this book a struggle to finish. The constant changing of characters I found irritating and it seemed to meander all over the place, but eventually finished with a flourish.
Une grande guerre s'annonce entre Eyra, l'Empire du Nord et Istria, l'Empire du Sud, mené par le fanatique Tycho Issian. Katla est prisonnière dans un harem sudiste, les compagnes de son village sont tenues en esclavage, son père a disparu en mer et Saro Vingo est séquestré par son frère monstrueux et sanguinaire... Un seul être pourrait changer leur destin : la mystérieuse Rosa Eldi, déesse revenue parmi les mortels, qui recouvre peu à peu la mémoire et ses pouvoirs magiques... Le Sanctuaire conclut avec brio cette trilogie très colorée de fantasy épique inspirée des légendes nordiques.
