Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Tracy Hickman and his wife Laura deliver the third and final installment of their monumental, dragon-filled epic fantasy.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Three worlds collide in the mystical, and sometimes mystifying, conclusion of the Hickmans' Bronze Canticle trilogy, which began with Mystic Warrior (2004) and continued with Mystic Quest (2005). The ancient Bronze Canticles have foretold the violent "binding" of three parallel universes, whose inhabitants human, fey and goblin must find a way to coexist peacefully when the gates separating each finally open. Some lyrical writing only partially offsets an inconsistency of tone. The humor and irony in the sections devoted to the goblin empire, the book's most original concept, tends to jar with the more prosaically presented human world, which resembles Tolkien's Middle-earth, and the lovely, sad fey world. Many fantasy fans will find the ambiguous ending a cop-out, though it leaves the door open for further mystical adventures.
Customer Reviews
Not to shabby.
Took me a while to follow the story line, think that was just me. All in all pretty good trilogy. Hope to see more of "The Mystic's" adventures.
