The Fatal Tree

The Grand Finale

The final installment of this series took a turn I didn't expect. Perhaps in reading it in the future I will have a greater appreciation for it. Still, it was a fun read. I simply wish it had come away with more to think about.

What I liked:
- The story is an interesting look at the idea of free will in a universe ruled by God.
- I liked the way Lawhead presents how a person resists the call to live a life of love and charity while others embrace it.

What I didn't like:
- The story felt a bit too stretched out in the end. This may be a reflection of my mood, but I got tired of all the detailed description.

Today I consider it four stars because I lacked the euphoric feeling I had at the end of the previous books in the series. A fantastic adventure, none the less.
