I don't know what I was expecting from this book, the last instalment in this sprawling, mindbending, multiverse-spanning saga, but I did not expect it to blow my mind in the very first chapter. A bold, audacious opening and from that point on, I could barely put it down.
All these lives and stories intertwining, all the monsters and humans, all the gods and mages, it all comes together for a profoundly moving conclusion I could not have predicted and which brought me to tears several times as I was reading. Turnbull writes about communities, about the way people are, together, the way they can help and destroy each other in equal measure, and he does it without ever losing sight of the power and importance of individual characters. This is a thrilling and profound conclusion to the Convergence Saga.
