Synopsis:
The conclusion of the epic battle against the darkness.
Review:
I’m sorry to announce to everyone who has been excited I’m reading Kay that I found The Darkest Road to be a slog… around page 275 I realized that I had nothing invested emotionally in any of the characters or their journeys. I just never really engaged with the story.
That said, Kay is a beautiful writer and I will certainly be checking out Tigana and Last Light of the Sun, though not for some time.
Sorry.

well I TOLD you he didn’t really hit his stride til after Fionavar!!!
I don’t actually remember a lot about the trilogy. I read them when they first came out… 20 years ago!? And have never had an overwhelming desire to re-read. You appear to have hit on the reason why.

I blame Michelle–she told me to start with Fionavar
