Mid-30s, he/him, Canada. I enjoy horror, sci-fi, fantasy, humour, weird fiction, and some scientific and political texts as well as humour and the occasional mystery or queer text. Sometimes I read stuff that is rather against my own politics out of curiosity, so please don't take reading as endorsement of the views.

Fantastic. Sweet and bittersweet, weird and retro but also a bit timeless - Cordwainer Smith is sublime and this story was a nice little joy and distraction.

A very good end to a very enjoyable series. I think it says a lot that this book doesn't come to a grand, satisfying ending - that would make it clear it's a story. Rather, you're left with a somewhat unsatisfying realism, a sense that the saga continues to play out long after we've stopped peering into their universe; after all, nothing really ends. It's hard to build a universe that does that, so my hat's off to Ann Leckie.

This book was an awesome 'end' to the main series, and they handled dealing with Clariel/Chlorr in a surprising way in lieu of the cliche I expected. Plus, getting to see the Disreputable Dog again made me far happier than it had any right to.

It's always fantastic when an author comes back to a series and the book feels like he never left it. Fantastic book that really helps a reader understand just how someone in the world of the Abhorsen might be seduced by Free Magic.
