Children of Memory

Easily my favorite in the series, while it started off weak in the beginning, coming off as another rehash of the relatively boring story and exploration of the prior two novels, “world-building” is what I think someone nicer may call it. Part way through it stops that crap, and actually has a story... It might have taken 2.3 books to world-build a fairly not-at-all-complex-or-interesting-universe, but when it finally finished that we get a weird, unique, matrix-fairy-tale-fantasy novel, and it was great.
