This was worth a read to finish the series. But it was much longer than it needed to be. And I LIKE long books. But it did wrap up most every lose thread from the previous books. However, I was confused for quite a while about the last chapter, why it was there, where it was going. For a while I was starting to wonder if I had started to read a preview for a different book on accident. It makes sense in the end. But I think it could have gotten then quicker, with fewer words and with a better transition.

A 9/10 on the satisfying ending scale. There were one or two loose ends that didn't get wrapped up (but I won't mention them here, because they may be seen as spoilers). Also, the final climax of the trilogy, i.e., the antagonist's eventual fate, seemed a bit rushed when it finally came, considering the thousands of pages that led up to it. All in all, though, each book in this trilogy was better than the last, and I was very happy with how Cronin wrapped it up.

"A quiet moment passes - a holy moment....for within it he experiences an emotion entirely new to him. It is the feeling of a world, a reality, expanding beyond its visible borders, into a vast unknown; and likewise does he believe that he - that everyone, the living and the dead and those yet to come - belong to this greater existence, one that outstrips time. That is why he has come: to be an agent of this knowledge."
Tell me the story, Amy.
That is all

One of the most emotional but beautiful endings of all time.
An intense, oh-my-god read, as the first two books were. I was able to get into this quicker since I'd read the second book not so long ago (I struggled with the second since it had been years since I read the first), but the epilogue dragged on a bit.
