A review by faurenzil
The Wheel of Osheim by Mark Lawrence
4.0
This is a good ending of a great trilogy. As usual, the writing style is superb (at least as much as I can tell anyway, English is not my native language) and the story is very interesting.
However, I have to say I think it's not as good as the previous books. Maybe that had to be like that, because it really is an ending of a story (more so then 3rd book in the thorns trilogy) and every plot is nicely and steadily going to its finish. There is not that much space for author to surprise us with twists or to introduce new, interesting characters. It's all done very well, but without that something special I felt in the previous books.
I loved prince of thorns, because he was so intelligent and broken. I loved prince of fools, because he was so honest in his dishonesty and so completely different. I can't wait for Red Sister and everything she will bring.
