- Biografía breve
- Born in Jersey City, New Jersey but no one believes it because I am not very tough-looking; went to public grammar schools where I learned to curse extravagantly and a private Jesuit High School where I learned, well, Latin, mainly; was an Eagle Scout though my main memories of the Boy Scouts involved being dirty most of the time, drinking cheap blackberry brandy in the woods, and living life on the edge of a Lord-of-the-Flies situation any time we went camping; majored in English during college because I suspected (rightly) that this would allow me to sleep in and skip most of my classes; have been writing since I was about nine when I crafted a ninety page exercise in Tolkien plagiarism titled The War of the Gem; married above my station in life and am living peacefully with stronger-than-she-looks wife and three cats.

If the whole series had been like this ...
The book probably only deserves three stars, if only because it still has many of the problems that plague the series and has a totally useless epilogue (although it was labelled "Appendix, so I guess its uselessness was known).
Still ... a very satisfying ending to a very hit-or-miss series.

I'm not sure why I keep reading and increasingly liking these books. They're pretty dumb, painfully affected, and are only as stylish as joyless repetition of "fuck" can make them.
But they truck along nice and violent-like at such a good pace, with enough spectacle and action to apparently make me a committed fan of the series.

Good fast writing, ok setup and background, (too) shallow plot. Would have worked much better as a graphic novel.

I still enjoy the character, but this entire novel felt like filler.
I hate to be so hard on it, but it really wore thin.
