![]() ![]() Jillian Houston and the Gathering Storm are destroyed in a fight with Laconia. Then destroys the Ring Network and himself to stop the war. Jim injects himself with the protomolecule and stops him. High Consul Winston Duarte uses the protomolecule to try and mind control the universe to defeat the Dark Gods. I think what strikes me most about this novel is that it is a very simple story. It’s just, the thing that’s happening to put us into the endgame. There was no suggestion that might happen. The book starts with Duarte waking up out of his catatonic state that he fell into back in Tiamat’s Wrath. It definitely feels like a place the authors chose to stop rather than there being no more adventures to be had. It doesn’t make me look back on the series as a waste or taint what I enjoyed. I don’t think it hits the highest notes of the series. Then next spring the (last?) novella Memory’s Legion is coming out. I still need to read a couple of the novellas, Churn and Gods of Risk. And I don’t recall when I did my first read of Tiamat’s Wrath. I slowed down for books 4-7 and read them over the next 4ish months. The first book I could not put down despite the inconvenience of having to work. ![]() Going by my tweets I tore through the first three books in about a month and a half during the busiest season of the year for me. The 8th book, Tiamat’s Wrath, was released in January 2020. I started reading the series in the fall of 2019. ![]()
