Where to begin...or end as that is what it is, an end of the Left Hand Of God trilogy. Anyway, it begins with the three "lads" Thomas Cale, Vague Henri and Kleist following separate tales revolving around Spanish Leeds. They're all waiting for the next big attack by the Redeemers, who basically want to kill everyone including themselves and, as that clash becomes inevitable, the three tales come togetherIt's been a good series and well worth reading. There are no elves, magicians, dragons or any of that fantasy stuff, just good old military tactics and religious fundamentalism gone looney with some of the usual political scheming, a bit of romance and a fair bit of dark humour thrown in for good measure.True, it's not a cheery read but it is powerful and the main characters are really well crafted, which is what makes the story so readable. Sister Wray and Poll should get a spin off though - brilliant! After highly anticipating this final volume in the trilogy I was left a little disappointed with the finale. While as gripping and well written as the first two, the ending just felt a little rushed and while a lot of questions were answered it just seemed to fizzle out. There were a lot of plots and characters that just seemed to be left behind mid way through when they could have been better used. Overall though this is one of my favourite book series.
What do You think about Il Battito Delle Sue Ali (2014)?
Darkly funny and witty but not as good as the prior entries, and the ending really sucked.

A fiting end to the story of the troubled boy, Thomas Cale.
