The concluding book in this trilogy is the weakest of the three, but overall this trilogy was endlessly inventive and unpredictable. The first in the trilogy, Scar Night, is still the best especially in terms of plotting. But beginning with the second book, Iron Angel, characters go off in different directions and new characters enter the fray. John Anchor was a favorite. Also, not all loose ends are wrapped up. The story concerns a fight for supremacy among gods (winged angels cast out of Heaven) and the ruler of Hell, King Menoa, the self-styled Lord of the Maze. I enjoyed it all but I it seems to me that the plotting was either more rushed after the first book or the author was nearly making it up as he went along. I'd be keen to see what he comes up with next, though.
