Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. An excellent finish to a solid fantasy series. It kept its focus on the tightly-knit threesome of Sal, Shilly and Skender, and revelations and growth (and romance!) abounded. It was also our first really good look at the Sky Warden city and culture, and I found this very interesting. Happily, it tied up all the loose threads nicely, and maintained a good balance between plot and characterisation. Having read the next series after the Books of the Change, the end to this trilogy wasn't exactly a surprise to me. However, I only knew the boldest outlines rather than the fine details, and a lot of the strength of the story comes from those details: Sal's struggles with his family's varying expectations, the imagery of the Tower, the creepiness of the ghosts and the golem. Now, I just may need to re-read the Books of the Cataclysm! ( ) no reviews | add a review

Sal and his friend Shilly have been joined by a third refugee, Skendar, by the time they make their way to the remote island that is the home of the famous, feared Haunted City, home of the Sky Wardens. Sal's great aunt, the Syndic, is also there, and she is determined to keep Sal under control, even if she has to imprison him to do it. But there are greater threats even than that. The ghosts that live behind the ancient glass of the City are restless. No one can say why they are stirred up and no one has any idea what they can do if they act. The golem is determined to make Sal do its bidding and will not stop short of murder to obtain his obedience. It appears that the Weavers have plans as well, yet no one knows, or will admit knowing, whether the legendary Weavers even exist or what they are. Beset on all sides by dangerous powers and controlling agendas, Sal must find a way to choose his own path . . . or submit to a fate not of his own making. No library descriptions found. |
