A satisfying conclusion to an epic trilogy. This was a hard-boiled fantasy where heroes don't fit the standard molds. They are irreverent, imperfect, lustful—in a word, human. Morgan created a fascinating blend of science and magic that is a lot fun to unravel.

SiriGuruDevSingh I LOVE how this series ended! I kept imagining what Archeth did when she returned... I love how the story gave you more to think about. So good! 8y
tom.litchford Yeah, Morgan manages to end it while allowing the story to continue on in the reader's head. 8y

A Monday night spring thunderstorm and a glass of Bell's Two Hearted Ale—perfect time to settle in with Richard K. Morgan's "The Dark Defiles."
