thekingcrusoe's review against another edition
5.0
REALLY highly enjoyed this one. Culminated all of the best elements and loose threads into a prolonged climax for the series that worked beautiful. Shockingly better than the previous two by a significant degree.
In the first book everything seemed like obvious set-up despite its self-contained arc. The story of both worlds was good, but the IRL stuff was slightly more interested.
In the second book everything was really slowed down due to it being in the middle - middle book syndrome and all. Really great moments but overall slightly bland. The IRL stuff was still the highly, where the other stuff somewhat dragged.
This final book had everything at its best including some incredible thematic symbolism in some very cool scenes that were honestly incredibly bold decisions that I highly respect.

So many trilogies tend to sputter out in the third book, but not this one! Not only does Klavan bring the series to an amazing ending, but in my opinion this trilogy just kept getting better and better until the final page. This final book manages to be both thrilling and inspiring. I was saddened to say goodbye to the characters after this trilogy, but feel that every loose end was tied up. These have been some of my favorite books that I've read in a long time. Can't recommend these highly enough.

Andrew Klavan is a author that is truly on a different level from other authors. This series and this book prove this. His ability to capture the essence of what it is to be a man, the effect of wisdom and folly on one heart, and depth of love between a man and a woman is truly inspired. Let wisdom reign and each man go his own way. Brilliant!
