First line: Looking back on it, the thing that still
surprises me is my own reaction to it all.
Why you should read this book: There’s a Canterbury Tales
type frame story that involves a massive reality storm, one which strands
hundreds of travelers from all different times and places in a cozy inn, the
only place they can take shelter until the storm passes. While there, the
travelers, some of whom we’ve met in other volumes, are all compelled to tell
their own story, and, as the book progresses, we see that all the stories
concern death in their own way. Finally, the climax, in the form of a gigantic
piece of foreshadowing, frees the travelers to continue their journeys.
Why you shouldn’t read this book: Easily the goriest part of
the series.
