While satisfying, the conclusion to the Labyrinth quartet pales in comparison to the first three books. Corambis simply lacked the urgency of Melusine, The Virtu and The Mirador. The angst between Felix and Mildmay, while believable, is the same angst that we witnessed in books 1, 2 & 3. There is danger but for whatever reason, it didn’t feel as threatening as the dangers faced previously. Mildmay, one of my all-time favorite characters, had less of an independent storyline in Corambis; he spent most of his time in Felix’s shadow. All that said, it was satisfying to see Felix finally come to terms with himself; it was also good to see Mildmay consider a new path for himself.]]>
