I finished it this afternoon. I really liked the ending. Cook has stated that in the course of writing one Garrett book, he usually has the plot for the next one spring to mind. I imagine the ending to Wicked Bronze Ambition reflects that Cook already knows what will happen next.                

I expect that only Cook's eventual death will bring an end to Garrett's adventures. Cook has a new cast of characters to play around with. The Hill denizens must surely have more schemes and plots, past and present, than just the Tournament of Swords.

I'd like to see a plot where Morley's elfin relatives come to Tun Faire and get caught up in some Hill magic!
