- What exactly happens at the spire after the heart is being carried away.

The way I read it: After Stormy/Gesher kill the main Forkrul Assail, the Spire is already in flames from Sinn, the rest of the Watered just gave up/got killed because all their leadership is gone.

You know, I really do love that, as readers, we spend 9 books hating and wanted to kill a god where it is compassion that ultimate is the reason for saving him.

Just finished the TCG, a solid ending to the series. It felt a bit rushed in parts, wrapping up so many loose ends, but the characters that mattered shone through. Inevitably, some questions.

What was Sinn? Does she represent a new type of magic, that comes from the individual rather than drawing on Krul's blood? She reminds me of Beak. Both drew on their own suffering to fuel their magic. I didn't feel that Sinn's story was well closed off but hopefully will be addressed in another book.

I really don't think Sinn represented a new type of magic, but rather she just lost all her humanity, first after being raped, and then giving herself completely to the fire elemental while absorbed it. In the end she was less of a human and more of a meat shell for the elemental.
