The Iron Tower has been overthrown. Book three in the trilogy, The Darkest Day, has been read. I liked the trilogy more and more with each book as the author moved out from the shadow of Tolkien a bit further with each book. The ending was a bit unexpected, a "bit of a twister," as our hostess Sable mentioned above. Decent high-fantasy fare; I would read more of McKiernan's work. But for now, it's off to Patricia A McKillip's "Riddlemaster" trilogy. I've read the first eight pages of "The Riddle-Master of Hed" and am initially captivated by the opening scene of quarreling royal siblings.


Glad you enjoyed it, and looking forward to your thoughts about Riddlemaster. I have not read any Patricia A. McKillip, and she's of the Grand Mistresses too.
