The Long Cosmos by Terry Pratchett, Stephen Baxter

2.0

The borest conclusion to a boring saga. I don't think that Terry Pratchett has written more than 20 pages in total (across all 6 books).
Glad it finished.

Formulaic by this point. They've written so many of these books they have a set formula on how they should go. This one was utterly pointless in my view. I can definitely tell that Terry Pratchett was not instrumental in writing this one.

Ties the series together nicely. I liked that the book finally explores the stepping hominids that populate the long earth - they were introduced in the first book and forgotten during the middle books. Not so keen that they were portrayed by a gorilla on the cover, as their actual description is a bit different.

The main character is now in his seventies, so the aging authors wrote him a lot more successfully than before, in my opinion. The ending wasn't perfect but it was fitting.

An improvement in some ways on earlier books in the series, with a delightful Librarian. Several stories intertwine and reach a satisfying conclusion.
