That ending. mwah
I don't really wanna say more, but this entire series was a masterpiece of modern scifi. I loved it.
“Tiamat's Wrath” has you wondering how everything will be resolved, how our heroes can go on and overcome the Lanconian Empire. And the solution is boht surprising and understandable in hindsight. No Deus ex Machina (at least not as a literary device), just a few guns hidden by Chekov.
And the opportunity to go even further…
Content warning Mention of the third side of the gates.
Strong characterisation, following all the logic of previous books. Some excellent set pieces and interesting ideas about the gate builders.
I didn’t love the hand waving around the beings on the other side of the gates - his book steers away from the hard sci fi - but putting that aside, I enjoyed the book almost as much as Nemesis Games. Not as good as the first in the series though.
