5.0 out of 5 stars
Superb, Awesome...Worth It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, May 14, 2005
I wish i could rate this book even higher than 5 Stars. The ending is superb. It couldn't have been better. This series and I have had a time together. I got kinda bummed out with book two and starting book three was tough. I had thoughts of not even finishing it. But I'm so glad I did. This trilogy shot from the bottom of my favorite series to the top...just under King's Dark Tower Series. If you've read and liked books one and two, you will not be disappointed at all with book three. It was worth my time and money. I recommend this series to anyone wanting an intriguing, indepth read.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great end to a great series, January 22, 2006
Yes, this book was pretty much the same as the first two installments. Which makes it a pretty darn good book.
The problem which keeps this one at 4 stars, was it was just a bit too... long. While the other books, especially the second, had passages that waxed into long descriptions and technical natured discussion (in this book, it is lengthy passages relating to working at a bell foundry) in this novel they were just far too long and far too plentiful.
I could have done with a much lesser amount of the dry "every day working" bits in this story.
They made this book drag a little, where the first two flew by for me.
However, the end of the story was all I could have hoped for and more. Not at all predictable, much is explained, and much of it shocked me quite a bit!
All in all an excellent series, and quite not what I expected.

3.0 out of 5 stars
more of the same, October 13, 2005
"Memory" is the continuing adventures of Poldarn, a man who has amnesia. Poldarn has decided that he does not wish to remember his past, as what hints he has gotten are all pretty appalling. Alas, his past is not so eager to forget about him.
For myself, I found "Memory" to be far too similar to the first book in this series, "Shadow". The prose is more polished and the metafores more subtle, but otherwise the content is just more of the same.
If you've not read another book in this series, you'll greatly enjoy this work -- 5 stars. Otherwise, while pleasant, "Memory" offers nothing new.
