The Dark Defiles

Good in parts, but the constant crazy magic destiny stuff from character X popping out of nowhere and overriding crazy magic destiny stuff from character Y kind of cancelled out any kind engaging storyline.
The parts of the story that were more grounded in characters and places and not "random magic crap happening" where quite good though.
This serious started of well but fizzled out in a bunch of tedious eternal hero mystical magic hogwash.

Oh the twisted path through the margins is taken. I liked this book and I really wasn't ready for it to end. It felt unfinished, too many dangling threads of potential that I really wanted more from. A short story of epilogues might round it out.

Regardless this book carried forth as its prior conspirators did. We saw our trio march, swim, find more tech and sorceries, understand their new perils, and get lost here and there in the margins both literal and figurative.

I give away nothing. I would like Morgan to revisit these worlds, these peoples. I want to know more of the Kiriath, the Bookkeepers, the Dark Court, and the Void. Ah to be human is to be plagued by the unknown and there is plenty unknown here.

Enjoy this final parcel for what it is. :D
