Magician's End by Raymond E. Feist
3.0
The end of this trilogy was profoundly better than the previous two. Lots of things explained, the end (finally, bar that little bit of dread). The goodbyes really got me - oh Kulgan! And Borric too (the twin, not the og). It was nice to see bit more of Nakors life story (a travelling fair, how very Nakor).
The Hal twist was mildly surprising (I’d anticipated James plan), the Tomas plot more so, and the waiting Gods was a nice touch.
Overall a fitting end - finally - to what felt like a never ending series. I still feel like his best works were the first two series, the empire books and the original three riftwar cycles. Perhaps I’d also consider the conclave of shadows (first two books only), the rest fell flat and were overly convoluted with the past.
Very glad to be done!
