The Long
I always approach the end of a series with a certain amount of trepidation. Will it finish well? Or will it bust. That underlying anxiety is heightened when I get the chance to review a copy of the book for the author.
All of my fears were unfounded with regard to this series, however. Mr. Johnston did not disappoint. The allegorical elements continued to be well-executed, the sci-fi backdrop remained rich and vibrant, and I can imagine no better way to send off some of the characters I've grown to love in the series. My only complaint was that it got a little challenging to keep track of all the characters that had joined the story, especially since it had been several months since I had read the first two installments.
Nevertheless, I would highly recommend this series to fans of Christian sci-fi/space opera. You'll find that it's hard to beat.
Happy New Year and Happy Reading!
I have issues with the end of a series as well. There are way too many things that can go wrong, and besides it's always sad when it ends so I feel like the author can't really win. It's either a happy ending and I'm sad it's over, or it's a bad ending and I'm upset anyways.
ReplyDeleteYou're so right! There are some series I've put off finishing for months or years just because I don't want them to be over.
