Many years ago, Darkness of the Light introduced us to the Damned World, where creatures of myth and magic had invaded the Earth and destroyed nearly all the humans. In this nameless planet, we met Jepp, a female Mort (mortal woman) who met a group of vagabonds and roamed the world, seeking fortune and survival. In the sequel, Heights of the Depths, Jepp was brought before the Overseer, the ruler of the Damned World, who threatened to hunt her and companions to their deaths...until a loopy female Mandraque named Norda shot him to death, thereby supposedly ensuring the end of the World. Now Order of the Chaos brings us to the concluding chapter as a group of Phey embark on a journey to the far reaches of Dizz to find out why the world hasn't ended yet and what they should do to keep it going. Meanwhile Jepp, reunited with her friends, is being transported back to Paris or, as they call it, Perriz. There a final confrontation awaits Jepp and her companions against a colony of underground vampires (Piri, as they are called) who has a helpless Piri mother-to-be in their clutches: A Piri who is going to be giving birth to the first mixed breed child in the history of their twelve races. Provided her vampire queen mother allows it to happen. Terry Brooks called the first book in this series a "quirky, intriguing, wonderful tale, filled with adventure and unexpected plot twists." The concluding novel gives you more of the same, and a rousing finale to the tale of the Hidden Earth.… (plus d'informations)

Well, I’m glad Peter David finished the trilogy. I was afraid the story would be left open after his stroke and since he was writing this other stuff like Artful and Pulling Up Stakes and managing his own press company.

Here’s the biggest problem–it has been so long since I read the last book (five years and change, to be exact), that I had no fuxxing idea who anyone was. It needed a dramatis personae or a “the story so far…” There’s no mercy for anyone jumping in. It’s like the trilogy is meant to be read back-to-back-to-back. Which is an interesting proposition, but not one I’m interested in at this time. I mean, jeez, when I read book two it was on my Nook.

Okay, so how is the book itself? Well, from what I remember, it’s rather underwhelming compared to the previous novels. The climax feels a little thin, even taking the book on stand-alone. There’s a final battle, but it includes two races that haven’t been seen before. There are plenty of unanswered questions still lingering around, ones you expect to be answered. And bee-tee-dubs, that ending doesn’t come into play much at all in the plot of the last book. So the end story feels a touch out there. And wrapped a little too quick.

But the same sense of humor is there, the same epic-ness is there. Like Lord of the Rings with more badass motorcycles. But I think the only way I can recommend this is if you read book one, loved it, and then read book two and three relatively soon after that. It’s all one story. ( )
