"Will probably pass on the last installment"
No, there is no "hope" in this story, no light at the end of the tunnel just doom and gloom.
Some redeeming quality,action or feat that can save the world and human race.
Always a winner.
Passages yes, this one no. Was simply too complex with all the characters and flipping back and forth between past, present and future.
Could hardly wait for this book to come out and purchased it immediately. It was a disappointment.
