This was the last book of the third trilogy by Carey that is set in the land of Terre d'Ange (a Medieval/Rennaissance Europe of sorts). I think the characterizations and love stories are a bit played out by now, and in this trilogy she's tried to compensate by taking them far afield to foreign destinations (Asia, the Americas). It feels a bit strained, although if I hadn't read the first, really original trilogy, I might not think that this book is just a necessary contract fulfillment.
I'm more excited by her upcoming sequel to 'Santa Olivia', her very original sci fi story about orphans, female boxing and genetically modified super soldiers. I think this is where her heart really is at the moment, rather than Terre d'Ange.
