Title: disappointing conclusion
Review: Carey's prose in the conclusion of The Sundering is as poetic and skillful as ever, however she does not seem to care at all for her characters. I got the feeling she lost interest in the story and slapped out a conclusion so she could move on to something else. Any interest the reader had in the characters after reading Banewreaker is lost as they stumble toward what she describes as an inevitable conclusion. The only interesting characters all die when the entire theme of the first book pointed toward the fact that they reach some kind of peace. Plot lines that seemed original and intriguing, such as the attraction between Tanaros and Cerelinde, peter out. The promise of the first book has been squandered. I had to finish it to see what happened, but was sorely disappointed.
