Finally finished with this tome. It's the longest book I've read to date, and it didn't help that I got sick in the midst of reading it. It required some extra perseverance to finish this.
Firstly, I may have set my expectations too high, and I think it's a little bloated. There's still so much journeying and I think the pace could've quickened at certain points, especially with this being the last book. And I felt the resolution didn't quite touch up on everything.
However, this is still a great conclusion to a classic trilogy that deserves far more recognition from fantasy readers. Several epic moments and Tad's wonderful prose propels you through this slow and methodical final installment. Simon's journey comes full circle and I loved pretty much every bit of his growth.
