Wow. What a book. I'm often a bit wary of books that are huge sellers - so many times they fail to live up to their promise. But this one delivers all the way through.

You must read all three books in the trilogy to understand it - if you started with this you'd be completely lost as it's very much a straight follow on from book two. But what a roller coaster ride of a tale. I'm sad that the author didn't live to see what a success his books became, and very sad that we'll never to be able to read any more of his excellent work.
