The Last Echo of the Lord of Bells

May 20th, 2023:


A satisfying conclusion to the series and yet a little more. 

Every genre has a formula unique to it. Can't write mystery without a mystery obviously and certainly can't write fantasy without an element that's outside the realm of normal possibility. 

John Bierce's writing is one that does recognizes the formula but doesn't limit itself in the confines of the formula.

Mage Errant has a consistent theme of drastic situations and yet minimalizing on the depth of emotional angst as much as possible with some characters and balancing it out elsewhere to see what descisions would be made. To see how the story would play out.

It sounds artificial and yet works perfectly for this series and writing style and this conclusion followed the same idea to a T.

Therefore, I don't think this series would work for everyone, it certainly did wonders for me and I'm glad to have found it. 

I also can't wait to see what else John Bierce has in store for us.


Final rating: 4.5/5
