A good ending, but the cracks start to reveal the academic under the author
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Beyond the Wall of Time concludes the broken man trilogy. Despite knowing its a cliche Husk, cackles with laughter as he is finally revealed as the definite bad-guy. A large (too large) portion of this book is devoted to introspection and mildly annoying debates about love and whether the undying man is evil or not. The last chapters are fine, and the ending seems fitting. However, the characters seem out of balance. Husk whom is the first character introduced in the entire series is used as a puppet for the gods which reducing him as a character and one wonders why he was given the page time interludes to only be later taken over by a different antaganist. Many of the main characters disappear for large periods of page time, as Stella and Undying man discuss their relationship issues, only to appear when they are needed. In particular Torve fades into the background despite being one of the more interesting protaganists. The mythology of the world, is a cobbled mix of Thomas Covanent, and B. Scott Bakers, the Darkness that comes before series and manages to hold its own even if lacking a little originality. Overall, a worthwhile read, that makes me proud of New Zealand writers
