I was enjoying this one more than the rest of the trilogy, but that ending kinda ruined my appreciation of the book and the trilogy as a whole. Too bad because I found it very engaging, funny and sometimes even complicated to follow, due to the main layers overlapping.
I think the only thing I can really say about this is that it wrapped the entire overarching story up with a neat little bow. All the questions are answered about "but how???" and suddenly you find yourself "oooooooh okay that is how!" and all is well. Another 4 star read, the entire trilogy was a very solid 4 stars in my own opinion. It was fast paced, fun, intelligent, and surprising in a few ways. I'm not sure I felt that there was a huge payoff, but because it wrapped up so nicely I can't really say anything negative about it. Go ahead and give it a chance if you like fast, smart sci-fi with Lawrence's typical humor added in.
The final novel in Mark Lawrence's Impossible Times trilogy wraps up the story Nick and his invention of time travel. There were a fair number of story lines to tie up (like how Demus came to travel back in time in the first place) and the book does an admirable job of linking these things back. Mark's writing is as always very engaging and the cast of characters that have been built up in this Impossible Times series are likable.
This was the weakest of the three book in the trilogy - mostly because it lost the tight scope of the first two books. This is probably due to the need to wrap everything up in a relatively short novel. When the first novel gives you the answer to what happens to the main character in the end it guides things a bit more and leaves open less surprises. This, I feel, is frequently a challenge with time travel books!
This is still a highly enjoyable book, mostly because of Mark's writing which flow effortlessly from the page and encourages you to keep reading. I devoured this book in the space of one day! A satisfying ending to a highly enjoyable trilogy of books.
