Exciting at end

As I read this book I noticed that I couldn't get some of the beginning of the book without reading the first 2 books of its series, but this may be the reason that this book was boring in the beginning. The beginning is boring because it is just talking about how Gallen, Maggie, Orick, and Tallea land on the planet ruin and get picked up by King Felphs who is the King of the planet and they just get introduced to other people and learn about things that happened in the past and a lot of other things. But as you progress through the book it gets fun and exciting because of what happens through the Tangles and how certain actions at the end happens. So overall I would say this was a pretty good book and I would recommend this book to all readers, but especially patient ones.

The Ending was a little weird..

A wonderful book, great to end the trilogy, very creative. I loved the concept of the cloning and the waters of strength. Excellent descriptionsduring Gallen and Maggie getting slaughtered by the Dronon. I like how they go back to Tremonthin and settle down for a normal life. The very end is a little weird, I mean, I understand the waters of strength, but, Gallen dieing becuase of a tree? After all that?? To me, that caused it to lose the perfect score.

Superbly written, a true masterpiece.

Dave Wolverton has done it again. Following in the tradition of the two earlier books in this series (The Golden Queen, Beyond the Gate), Wolverton is able to write one heck of a story. I suspect this trilogy is destined for superstardom in the annals of science fiction. The characters are well formed and consistent, with surprise after surprise leading you on to the incredible ending. A must read for any science fiction reader. It is the gifted writing of authors like Wolverton that has ressurected science fiction as a true art form.
