A review by tansy
Kingdoms of Dust by Amanda Downum

adventurous mysterious

4.25

I thoroughly enjoyed the end to this trilogy, although I did also find the plotting odd. Not much really happens for the bulk of the book - it's mostly people travelling - and then quite a lot happens quite abruptly. It concludes Isyllt's story in a satisfying way and I loved the weird, eldritch turn to the proceedings, but one of the main antagonists of this book is not really in the book, which seems bananas. Also, Downum tends to repeat certain unusual words - "carnelian" for example, gets a lot of use in this book - which I find distracting as I'm often watching for them as I read.
