A review by hawkeyegonzalez
The Way Into Darkness by Harry Connolly
3.0
This book is a mixed bag for me. There are things about it that I really enjoyed, like seeing TeJohn and Cazia working together again but this time after their individual experiences. Seeing their growth from their journeys and their acceptance and admiration of each other was a beautiful thing to read. There were also some genuinely emotional scenes as well, especially towards the end with TeJohn.
However, I didn't like the fact that just too many things were left open-ended. The book never states if the "resolution" had any real impact on the battle against the Blessing or on anything at all. The Tilkilit and ruhgrit are all but forgotten, and even Ivy and Kinz are thrown to the sideline halfway through.
Overall, this was a really good series. I just wish Connolly would have given himself more time to flesh out the last couple of chapters.
