Review of "Breath of Heaven" (Well of Sorrows, #3) by Benjamin Tate (aka Joshua Palmatier)
Well written and kept me reading. Still, somehow I could not connect with this final entry in the series.
The characters seemed distant to me. Maybe just because it took so long after second book for me to read this one. Maybe because I so loved his other series, Throne of Amenkor that began with The Skewed Throne, that it suffers by comparison.
It didn't help that there was a lot of action and battles taking places with lots of different — even though familiar from earlier books — characters where it was hard to invest. Pretty glum with lots of dire straits, bad things happening, and outnumbered armies. The only respite quite a few exciting heroic moments.
I really loved the first two books (okay, the very beginning was a bit too much wagon-train-taking-settlers-west for me but once I got into it I was hooked).
The ending of this one *sigh* — well, in a way, I guess it came full circle?
