“It took almost three weeks to read Fatal Revenant, not because I found the book difficult or boring, but because I didn’t want to rush things. I wanted to give my full attention to the book, to savor and enjoy it.
And so I did.
There is a mid-book climax so exciting, so powerful that I couldn’t stop reading. I was an hour and fifteen minutes late for work without even realizing it. I had to find out what happened next.
The rest of the book was not just an extended denouement; like everything else in this third Chronicles, it relentlessly built on what happened before. The end of the book built perfectly towards another crisis-moment cliffhanger.
I can only hope that it will not be another four years before Against All Things Ending is published.
