Endless Things: A Part of Ægypt
by John Crowley
The cycle comes to a fitting and most satisfying ending. I had been worried about that. What could possibly happen (short of the world ending, which wouldn't have been believable anyway) that would serve as a fitting conclusion to this amazing epic? I can't spoil it for you.
Having read each of the four books as they were published, I did something that still surprises me. When I got to the end of this book, and closed it, and set it down, I promptly went to my bookshelves and took down the first volume in this series and started at page 1. I then read all four, back to back, straight through. It was fabulous, wonderful, mind-reeling.
This fourth book in a tetralogy (The Aegypt Cycle) requires you to have read the first, second, and third. If you've read the first and are debating reading the second, see my review here on Goodreads: here
The date I read this is approximate, but I'm sure it was within a few months of the release of the hardcover in the U.S. When I read the first book, in 1989, I had no idea this would be a 20-year project for author [a:John Crowley|52074|John Crowley|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1223869920p2/52074.jpg].
