The Mongoliad: Book Three by Greg Bear, Neal Stephenson, Erik Bear
4.0
(3.75 Stars)
I really like this whole series, but this was probably my least favorite of them so far. I still liked it, I just thought that a lot of time was spent really building up the mystical and/or religious elements of the story without it really amounting to as big of a payoff as was probably intended.
The action is great and the book is well paced. The narration is excellent and I really don't know how he keeps track of all those different voices. Speaking of, there are a lot of major characters in this book, and if you are not good with names you might have trouble keeping track of each of the different story arcs.
This book will appeal to people who like historical fiction and fantasy adventure.
