The Fall of Babel

After finishing The Fall of Babel, I've been in a state of unrest. I haven't been able to distinguish the rights and wrongs of the story's conclusion. After The Hod King, it was clear that The Books of Babel has become my favorite series to date, and now that it's over, I'm having difficulties justifying if it was a good payoff. I'd say it gave one hell of a book hangover though.

I usually try my best not to spoil anything in my reviews and because of that, it's almost impossible to explain how this ending is like any other. I was upset, whether I'd be from the book or from the realization of having to give a farewell to the series, but there isn't anything I'd give to relive this entire series with fresh eyes.

Having a few weeks to reflect, The Fall of Babel has barely anything to complain about, because the series has has been held so high in my mind that almost nothing can tear it down, no matter what minor personal issues I might have with it's conclusion.

Sometimes a final reckoning is just swift punch to the gut, one with gusto.
