I went into The Last Four Things with lower expectations. I did what I know I should never do and took a detailed look at reviews before getting into it. The Left Hand of God left me on such a good note that I was really excited to get started with this book before looking at reviews and less so after. But despite this I went into the book and hoped that Paul Hoffman could maintain what made the first book so great.At first I was a little skeptical, not because of the reviews, but because the book started with a terribly long recap. Then in the first to chapters it spent so long explaining things that, i personally felt, weren't detrimental to the progress of the story and felt so long winded that I lost interest. This went on for a bit and I got worried that this would continue throughout the book, thankfully I was wrong.The book picked up some momentum and ended up being a fun read. It ended on a very interesting note which makes me excited to start 'The Beating of his Wings'.
The Left Hand of God was in my opinion a fantastic book and not an easy book to follow I struggled at first to get back in step with this one the long wait between books probably didn't help and I should have read Left Hand again before starting this but it wasn't long before I was absorbed back into the world of Thomas Cale and I enjoyed it just as much can't wait for the next book, the wait being even longer this time.
Not as good as the first book, but still enjoyable.

Not bad. Quite heavy going at times...
