Title: Flawed, but immensely entertaining.
Review: First of all, this one probably won't make a lot of sense to people who missed the first two books. Second, almost all of the story threads are tied up neatly, with the balance of power in the Bronze Age seriously out of whack. I love that the Event is never explained.However, this is a flawed book. The transition from scene to scene--leaping halfway across the world, at times--could have used at least a row of asterisks between settings. Some characters vanish for too long (IMO) and villains from the first two books are removed almost as an afterthought.The parts that are good are *so* good that it's worth reading even with the flaws, and so are the first two in the Nantucket Trilogy.
