review 1: I grew weary of reading the word, "intently". It felt like a blow to my head with a wooden sword every time I read it. Once it appeared three times on the same page. Other instances of adverb overuse appear throughout the text. I'm curiously dissatisfied after completing this third volume of what is apparently a never-ending story. Although it is an acceptable historical fantasy filled with action, fights and intrigue, it didn't leave me begging for more. I was ready for this story to draw to a close, not set the stage for another sequel with so many unresolved threads. Pacing, editing, and word choice are my biggest complaints. The story may have benefited from some aggressive omissions and revisions. It felt unfinished. I found it entertai... morening.
review 2: I enjoyed the first book of the trilogy; got a bit bored by the second (but put that down to it being the "difficult" second book; but then got a bit fed up with this supposed finale. Only one of the four main threads really finished, and even that leaves room for spin-offs, sequels, prequels, etc etc. I also got annoyed at the cliff hanging ends of chapters, which we then didn't get back to for a long long while. I suppose the cooperative approach limited the capacity for better editing. The whole Rome based storyline, whilst entertaining at times added nothing to the overall structure and the eagerly awaited (by me) "Grail" thread just petered out with no link back to Percival.Some memorable characters and some interesting ideas, but nothing to justify 2,000 + pages! I definitely will not venture into "Foreworld" again and my former avoidance of Neal Stephenson will be resurrected. less
