I don't know if this complete text is available as an ebook from any other source. So I bought it.
Ooh! I forgot about this; I also bought it. I have yet to read it, but I was disappointed in The Duke’s Children when I read it; it was an anemic wrap-up to such a marvelous series. Quite the letdown
Spoiler:
and that’s aside from killing off Lady Glen! Grrr.
Unlike The Last Chronicle of Barset, one of the best books in that series.
