I think I might like this third book even better than the first. It's taut, focused. Still full of a crazy number of entities and ideas, but it all feels like rushing toward a definitive conclusion. A page-turner. I'm honestly inclined to recommend new readers just skip the overstuffed confusion of the second book, maybe read a summary, and then read this one. In effect, treat it as a duology.

Enjoying this so far. After loving the first book, I found the second one a confusing mess. I remember almost nothing about it. This one is giving me first book vibes again. Also, Turnbull slyly turned this trilogy into a tetralogy by bringing his debut novel into the Convergence Saga universe. Which is cool, but now I kinda feel like I need to go read The Lesson before finishing this one.

Patriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. 😩😭😩😭

I will hate them for eternity if they let him die.

Just one more time, I think. One more, and I'll put all this craziness behind me.

Ooh brother!

The chaos and multigod section made me both reread sections of The Lesson and flip back to the front of this book and I'm experiencing another round of devastation and epiphanies on a whole other level like !!!!!!!!!

WHAT?!?!?£?£

I don't normally like chapter to chapter head hopping but I think it's working here because it's mostly just different people carrying on the same narrative thread.

Reading about people drinking tea always makes me want to drink tea too
