Bryan D’s Reviews > The Gormenghast Trilogy > Status Update

I have read Gormenghast, a more satisfying novel than its predecessor; tension galore, insanity and high mortality count made this a novel seem like a fine whiskey, take small sips, savour the experience and make it last as long as possible, refusing the inevitable conclusion until the very last minute. A joy to read but my brain needs rest before I advance with the third book.

I finished Titus Groan on December 3rd and am taking a break before I move onto Gormennghast. The first book is an exceptional novel with wonderfully rounded insane characters, lots of surprises and an ending that makes me look forward to the second offering which I may return to in the new year.
