Save your money! Given that some of the books in this series had the distinct feel of redundancy, this one was a little bit of a surprise. It felt more like something written for enjoyment, rather than a desire to just finish a project that got out of control.That being said, as a reader, I did enjoy the reading of it up to a point.It was needlessly redundant for anyone who has read any of the preceeding books in the series.

Though they frequently chose to use windows, they didn’t actually need the windows any more than they needed the doors. “Hannis Arc, working on the tapestry of lines linking constellations of elements that constituted the language of Creation recorded on the ancient Cerulean scroll spread out among the clutter on his desk, was not surprised to see the ethereal forms billow into the room like acrid smoke driven on a breath of bitter breeze. Like an otherworldly collection of spectral shapes seemingly carried on random eddies of air, they wandered in a loose clutch among the still and silent mounted bears and beasts rising up on their stands, the small forest of stone pedestals holding massive books of recorded prophecy, and the evenly spaced display cases o
