The final book in Trudi Canavan's Age of the Five trilogy. I can still recommend these books and this series. Definitely high fantasy.

Other comments, minor spoilerage:

First, I predicted the "shock" part of the ending by the end of the second book. But it made a great deal of sense that the characters did not, and it didn't damage the story for me.

Second, wow, this was harsher than I thought and left me wanting to cry. (The reason for that? Also obvious to the reader before it became obvious to the character it hit, and totally made sense - again - that it would be missed.)

Ow. Good book, but I think I sprained something reading the ending.

I'm reading a novel called Wicked, by Gregory McGuire. It's the history of the witches of Oz. Even while we were waiting for the tow truck driver to hook us up, I was sitting at the side of the road reading it.
