The Grand Finale

One of the biggest hazards of a multi-volume novel is an ending that fails to deliver on the promise built up in earlier books. Have no fear in this case -- Smith and Trowbridge bring together all the elements of this richly textured milleu to deliver a slam-bang conclusion that simultaneously ties it off in a satisfying way and leaves open the possibility of future novels set in this fascinating universe.Do not pass up this great novel -- and lets hope that the publishers get their wits about them and start buying more works by these phenomenal authors!

One story ends, another begins

The main thrust of the plot from the previous books is completed, but a new storyline is opened. I was prepared to be frustrated by this book when the name was changed from what was listed at the end of the previous book, but it turned out very well. The plots are resolved, and the fate of the attack by Dol'jhar on the Thousand Suns is revealed. Two personal and one general plots are started at the end, however, and I would clearly expect new novels to follow. The grand style that requires careful reading for full effect continues here, and the careful character development is still a joy to read
