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.

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.

"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.

the plot starts with a man who wakes up in a field and cant remember anything ! its full of mystery, action, unpredictable character devolopment. it makes this book a very good read ! i have read all three books in this series and i loved it ! someone who can write a book without copying something thats been done before, or someone else !

The whole trilogy is just amazing! After reading K. J. Parker`s Fencer Trilogy I had to read these books - and now I have a new "favorite author"...
It`s always a pleasure for me to read about characters that you shouldn`t really like - and the end is just fantastic! You can not stop smiling on the last 5 pages (and many others before).

Enjoy!!!

Awesome transaction and fast delivery. Look forward to possibly more transactions from this seller. These are good reading books!! Thanks, Linda
