RaveningHazelnut rated The dark design: 3 stars
I found the ending to the book and the series unsatisfying… not in that it was bad, but that I wanted more.

RaveningHazelnut reviewed Percepliquis by Michael Sullivan
Review of 'Percepliquis' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Fairly contrived ending third for a series that was awfully redundant throughout. How many times can our heroes get locked in a dungeon and saved by a deus ex machina?
I think the end result was a fine trajectory for the series, but the twists, crosses, double crosses and reveals were too much for me to bear.
