Title: Deus ex Machina
Product review: The subject sums it all up. I think that Robin Hobb was written into a corner and had no way out but this ridiculous ending. The first two books in this series were great, and most of the third, but I just can't forgive the end. It reminds me of Neal Stephenson's abrupt finish at the end of Cryptonomicon or The Diamond Age, but without any of the subtlety or polish that take his sudden endings and turn them into gems. A disappointing conclusion to a fantastic trilogy.
