Review: Fulfilling conclusion to a brilliant trilogy
Rating: 5 out of 5

The first two books kept me guessing, wondering who people were, how the universe that the books are set in worked, and how the main character could reconnect with the memories he had lost.By the third book, much of that had been explained and I felt I had a pretty good grasp of who the characters are and how the world works. And just as well, because this third book doesn't wait for me to catch up if I stumble. I am quickly thrust into the accelerating action as the main character and those he has gathered around him rush toward a confrontation with the evil that threatens all they know.Even now, going into the third book of the series, there is much to learn about both the characters and the world or worlds that they inhabit. The sheer power of imagination that the author has brought to this series humbles me. Coupled with a plot that accelerates as the reader works through all three books, this makes the third book a whirlwind tour of action and surprises.Yes, though the main plot resolves itself by the end of the book, there is an obvious set-up for the series to continue. Usually that irritates me. But in this case, I don't mind. Even though this book showed me so much of the universe the author has created, I can see that there is more out there. I want to go see it.
