Probably closer to a 3.5.
The series has gotten more and more esoteric over time, but a lot comes to a head in this book. The story alternates between the current story (which was great) and some history (which was okay), and that lack of focus scales things backwards a bit overall. With that said, the last few chapters were some of the best that this series has put out in some time, so it's good to see things moving along.
Wholeheartedly looking forward to the next volume.

Fuck yeah! I loved this volume.
While a lot of the mind-bendy head thinking stuff took a back seat to the action scenes this go-around, I was still left with a lot of deep thoughts when I had finished it.
Basically, all five of the previous volumes lead up to this one. Big, big climax and a fair amount of awesome payoff!
I honestly can't see where things are headed now and what is going to happen next.
Honestly though? I don't even care! Just show me where to sign cuz I'ma ride this bad boy to the finish line!

Finally. All the big reveals in volume 6 were very satisfying. If you enjoy Neil Gaiman's Sandman graphic novels, then you will love these too.
When this book is good, it's really good but when it's bad it is just awful. Most of the segments that take place in the past go on for far too long, are too wordy, and very dull. Some of the flashbacks seem like they are just beating the reader over the head with the same story over and over...
The parts in the present with Tom are great and the ending was perfect.
Still this one was hard to get through, if not for the ending I think I'd call it quits on this series.

Lots of backstory this time, with a much better understanding of what the Cabal is. Still has that underlying thread of "what is story?" and "how do we really use stories?" which I find so very delightful. Looking forward to the next one.
Marvellous series. Real turning point, this volume. If you have any interest in stories, storytelling and its power on society, this is a series you need to try. Great stuff.
There is nothing that I think can be said about this book without spoiling it or without making sense. Let's just say there are many, many revelations that come to light here. Things sort of come full circle. And it has a intense climax. I just can't wait to find out where the story goes from here!
I really don't think I'm the audience for this particular series. It's filled with the idea that stories have power, yes, but it's coming across it what seem to me empty high-action ways, with the Tommy Taylor/Tom Taylor character a pretty cheap direct nod at Harry Potter. Personally, I'm kind of at an impasse… I got this far, should I just keep reading? The cheesy flat dialogue is getting bothersome, as are the predictable plot twists. I had hoped Carey would do something new with the idea about narrative being the manifestation of consensual reality, but it reads not unlike the plot of some of the Mage:The Ascension games I've sat in on. The tensions from many of the unknowns are gone, and I know there's a Fables crossover coming, which disheartens me. I took them out from the library. I might as well give them a go.
Crazy good. All of the philosophy about the power of stories and common consciousness is intriguing. I may have to read Hobbes. The action sequences are well paced, so we're jot bogged down by the theory. I'm not a fan of introducing a mysterious character at the end (it's too much of a ploy), but I will take the hook and continue.
Wow, this instalment has exploded everything: the mysteries, the histories, the stories. Not only do we get to see the origin stories of Pullman, Rausch and the cabal, but a new character emerges just as one is lost. The storytelling in this was top-notch and I'm wondering where the series can go now. 'Brisbane. Australia', evidently. ;)
