The first part - The Traveller - is truly a masterpiece. I had mixed feelings about the second part, but there is hardly a novel I've been more eager to recieve than this one - with the probable exception of Harry Potter 7, I guess. Anyway - there are enough good reviews about the content. I was...well.. maybe I've read it too fast, rushed on too much, but I had the feeling that everything was just too easy in the end, things fell to easily in place.

Perhaps it was a bit down to novelty but it was real good. Then DARK RIVER went down a little bit, or a lot, depending how you want to see it and now the last part THE GOLDEN CITY regained much of that first book magic, however it fails in many places, especially when coming to give some sort of closure to the story. The pace is very good, better than in the last one and I also agree that short , sharp and to the point chapters help a lot. But I was wondering what kind of big event, like HUGE event was going to be the catalyst of the story when at 314 pages, and reading page 285, there wasn't anything hinting at closure or questions being answered. The whole BIG BROTHER experience on a massive scale is well portrait here like it was in the first book, giving you enough material to think that most of the technology Twelve Hawks describes here is real or potentially doable, which is a worry. In contrast, the whole idea for the Travellers to fight the Brethren and its power and control, is a bit old fashion New Age and truly speaking, by the end of the book, given the discovery of the Golden City and the gift from the semi-Gods you just wondered why didn't the Brethren recruited them instead of killing them! since they weren't a treath at all. The Golden City and the discovery of Corrigan Sr was a total let down and I [like many others] think it is a waste opportunity to have thrown in some really fantastic elements and plot devices, instead we get all this hippy babble-boring stuff that do not add anything to the story! Some characters turned out to be very good and had good backgrounds like Boone, or Hollis finally realising his fate as a Harlequin, or Maya being pregnant with a Traveller. But at the very good pace the book goes for about 270 pages to end up with 40 really lacklustre pages is just a bit dissapointing. Plenty of stuff to think about thou. And even more, you wonder about the potential all those last chapters have , had they been properly developed. Good read nontheless.(less)

It still had its problems, from small (cicadas don't live in California--they should have been hearing crickets) to big (Gabriel's speech was really boring--how is that supposed to inspire the world?), but overall, nothing was big enough to make me give up on it.

The Matthew Corrigan story is weak. In the end, he served very little purpose, and what purpose he did serve could have been handled if he had died when Gabriel and Michael were boys. This is an ongoing problem with the series. Twelve Hawks creates interesting characters, then kills them off, without having let them do anything vital to the story.

I liked getting to see what Nathan Boone's motivation was for joining the Tabula, but I think it was out of character for him to grow a conscience. He personally killed children at New Harmony; I don't buy it that he would suddenly be so averse to it now. Instead, I think it would have made more sense for him to work against the Tabula because they were no longer holding to the ideals that drew him to them. And again, his death served no purpose. Why couldn't he have helped them get to Michael Corrigan, or something, before dying? Nope. He went out like a bitch.

Maya's leg wound was pointless. First it wouldn't heal. That was kind of interesting. A wound received in Hell, and all. But then after it served its supposed purpose of getting Maya to the doctor to hear that she was pregnant, suddenly the wound starts healing. Why? What was different? Nothing--Twelve Hawks was just tired of it, I guess. But if it was all about getting Maya to figure out she was pregnant, why couldn't he have had her go to the 7-11 and buy a home pregnancy kit? Weak sauce.

I liked the bits about our mythology coming from stories of the other realms. Leaving Hell the way you came in, not eating anything while you are there, unicorns, and griffins. That was a nice touch, but Twelve Hawks didn't need to be so blatant about explaining it. He could have just described the unicorns, for example, and let the reader figure out the connections on his or her own. Show don't tell, Twelve Hawks.

I wish that the Michael and Gabriel story had been resolved. I don't think this series needs another volume. The obvious answer is that Gabriel would need to sacrifice himself to stop Michael. Then we are left with only the baby Traveler within Maya to act as the hope for the future. The end. I'm tired of authors being too wimpy to be true to their stories (J.K. Rowling--I'm looking at you.)(less)

The first book, the Traveler, was thrilling and mysterious. Many of the characters were thrust unwillingly into their situations and their fight to connect with others and maintain their self was great. And there was plenty of action.

The second book, the Dark River, allowed a little more exploration of the worlds, but was not quite as compelling. It was still pretty good, yet the other worlds and some of the character's paths started to seem less genuine.

John Twelve Hawks’ unhappy vision is much more immediate, as he describes a contemporary world that, without much stretching, could be our own. All the surveillance cameras, for example, are linked so that the Vast Machine, as he calls it, can track the movements of every individual – and of course, credit cards, cell phones and computers already permit a great deal of oversight by those with the means to tap into the existing systems.

The conclusion to a BRILLIANT trilogy, The Golden City was my least favourite of the series.

The first two were breathtakingly brilliant and this one was just okay.

There are two and a half reason why this one did not match up to the first two:

1) The story was not told from Maya's perspective nearly as much. The first two were told almost 90% from Maya's perspective and this one takes Maya almost out of the narrative and it is told from the perspective of the two brothers. Why this was done make...more

John Twelve Hawks' ultra-paranoid thriller trilogy finally loses some of its steam in part three. It's still enjoyable but Hawks replaces some of the breathless action scenes with events that are needed to put the story to an end. This includes lots and lots of speeches and long scenes in another conscious realm. The actual writing is probably better in this than the other two books but since it's less action focused, it doesn't have the same "page-turning" quality the others had.

It's not that it's bad, per se, in fact it's still one of the better books I've ever read, but it's just that The Traveler was such an unprecedented masterpiece. The Dark River took the series in a direction I didn't expect, focusing more on the personal development of the characters and starting to bring in the romance angle, but it still felt like it brought back most of the things I liked about the first book. This book, on the other hand...

First of all, let me say that my primary problem with the series as a whole is its lack of subtlety. Twelve Hawks is not the kind of writer to weave together a complicated analysis on the subject at hand, implicit both in the character's actions as well as the narration and dialogue. Instead, he is the kind of writer who will tell you what he wants you to think. He will talk to you. This is not bad, I suppose, but I tend toward books about ideas more than books about people, and so much of what I enjoy about them is the nuance, something that while heavily present in The Traveler slowly eroded out of this series. The Golden City itself is testament to this. Not this book, I mean, but the eponymous place. Its emptiness, specifically. Come on, Twelve Hawks, dig deeper. This trilogy was supposed to be your magnum opus!

Secondly, romance. I love romance, in life and in literature, but there is little I hate more than unnecessary romance imposing itself onto a story that neither needs nor wants it. This, I felt, was the case in The Fourth Realm Trilogy. Maya and Gabriel have some chemistry, for sure, but it's not enough to make that feel any less contrived. And I really liked Maya. She struck me initially as a Katniss Everdeen sort of individual, something that's gone by the point of The Golden City.

Gabriel degrades through this book as well. His transition from globe-trotting friend-to-all to quasi-holy wise man feels very sudden and unprecedented. You don't really see him developing into it; it just sort of happens. The Golden City had so much left to address despite being the last in the trilogy, I suppose, that it didn't have time for things like "subtlety" or "continuity."

However, this book is still better than most sorts of cyberpunk thrillers or whatever you would call the bloody genre. I attribute a lot of this to Hollis' journey. Hollis, or Priest as he ends up calling himself, is a much more interesting character than he initially seems. His development from being a minor character in The Traveler to grieving over Vicki's death in The Dark River to finally dealing with it here is convincing. As (relatively) normal individuals, I think our own paths are supposed to emulate more Hollis' than Gabriel's or Maya's. At least, that's my interpretation of Twelve Hawks' position. I quite liked closing the series out with Priest, although I can't say I was expecting it. It brought the by then quite elevated series back down to ground level and made its struggle once more personal.

Another strength of this book is the chemistry between Michael and Gabriel. The brother-against-brother battle was how we all knew it was going to end, and it is no disappointment, although it does take them a long time to get around to it. While (view spoiler) was a bit unexpected, Michael's felt a lot better developed and better foreshadowed.

This is still my least favourite book in the trilogy, the worst by far, but it doesn't fail on nearly as spectacular a level as many sci-fi novels do. I'd mark this one as worth reading to those who have begun the series, but definitely not memorable in its own right.(less)

The Dark River was a logical carry-on of The Traveler, and from the beginning of The Traveler, the reader is told that it's a trilogy so you kind of expect a red-headed stepchild of a book as the 2nd in the trilogy, which is what The Dark River was.

The final book in The Fourth Realm Trilogy leaves much to be desired. The first book in the series, The Traveler, was an amazing read and really sets up what should have been an epic story. The story is set in an alternate (or maybe not so alternate...) version of our reality where an organization called the Tabula keeps track of humans in a high tech big brother is watching you fashion. The two main characters, Gabriel (a "prophet" also called a traveler who can escape to other realms in our universe) and Maya (a protector of travelers aka a Harlequin aka don't mess with her because she will probably kill you) meet a variety of other people to try and fight the Tabula and their controlling ways. The big baddie here though is set up to be Gabriel's brother (also a traveler, of course) Michael, who ends up working for the very people who have been trying to kill off the prophets for centuries.

The plot gets much more complicated as the books progress, leaving the reader expecting a great big grand finale when all of the pieces fall into place. Not so. In book 3, we finally get to spend some quality time in the other realms, but at the end of the day the alternate realms really didn't serve any meaning to the plot. Major plot point #1: ruined. The characters in the books are likeable and interesting, but they seem to go through very abrupt transformations and make decisions that don't quite add up (ie Boone, Hollis, Matthew Corrigan...). Matthew Corrigan's whole arc, which was set up to be extremely important by the author, turned out to be an entire waste of time. Plot point #2: also ruined. The ending of the book, which I was hoping would be a final showdown between Gabriel and his brother Michael, did not even exist. Instead the brothers say a few words to each other and thats that. What? Really, thats it?! Plot point #3: RUINED.

What bugs me most about this book is that the author had so many opportunities to rectify the story and plot-holes formed in the first two books and instead John Twelve Hawks coped out and took the easy road. I wish that he had taken this series out of the norm of a trilogy and had added an extra book or two. Maybe then it wouldn't feel so unsatisfying and it could have been finished in an unhurried fashion.

Despite the shoddy ending I still really like this series. Books 1 and 2 were wonderful, but I may just pretend that Book 3 didn't really exist. Sorry John Twelve Hawks, but you totally took the easy way out with this series. Disappointment.(less)
