-The Book of Brin
It has been a long journey. What was started in Age of Legend comes to a conclusion in Age of Empyre, the final book in Michael J.
The story picks up immediately where the cliffhanger of the previous book leaves off. As I suspected,
I enjoyed the journey Sullivan took me on. The pacing issues and feeling of "filler" of the previous two novels are gone and I was fully engaged with the story. The reveals start to come fast and furious, there are some great reunions and not all the characters get a happy ending. It ends with hope which is really all you can ask for. And there's always Malcolm. I don't doubt there is more for him to do.
With this stage of the story done I need to bump Riyria Revelations up in my reading priority for next year. I want to see how this history is (mis)remembered in Elan's future.
Persephone just ended up being nyphrons broodmare? Brin is now the prophesied golden child? And what of suri and minna? So many unanswered questions
