The Unwritten N. 6: Tommy Taylor E La Guerra Di Parole (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
Next to the Leviathan volume, this one might be my second-favorite. It was longer than most of the other collections, which let me feel like I could get deeper into the stories being told. That's one thing I have trouble with in these -- everything jumps around so much, just when I feel like I'm starting to grasp some concept or storyline, they jump to something else, and I'm all wrong-footed and feeling like I have to get reoriented in something else. This one was pulling so many stories together, with Pullman and the origins of the Cabal, and Taylor's dad, and his vampire sidekick, but because of the size of this thing, and the way they spent time on each major story, I felt like I was starting to get a better handle on the bigger picture. I have found this series to be rather hit and miss thus far... but sweet holy crap did this volume deliver! It was thrilling to see nearly every single plot thread in the series pay off simultaneously. Furthermore, we get some crucial back story that really enriches our understanding of some of the more mysterious characters. Related quibble: I find Pullman and Rausch to be much more interesting than any of our main characters. Now to see if Carey can maintain this momentum going forward.
