"the outcome poised and uncertain, possibilities hovering" is a phrase used in the epilogue, and the saga draws to a close at long last yet there's still that thread left dangling, isn't there? Still the idea of perhaps, possibly, more to tell.

But, even had I finished this work not knowing there was more I would've found it most excellent. It's a solid, weighty end to a chapter in Fitz's life handled very well.
