I am totally invested in this series and its characters. There's a touch of slowness in the last quarter when we pick up one last character's storyline, but it comes to an awesome climax. Was totally satisfied. Bancroft's writing continues to be as po ...more |

| Read it in two days. The book is really well paced, in part because there are two POVs, so the sorrows and secrets of each character (the wife and husband) propel the story along. A couple of elements seemed improbable, but plot points are less impor ...more | |

“The Hero Path
We have not even to risk the adventure alone
for the heroes of all time have gone before us.
The labyrinth is thoroughly known ...
we have only to follow the thread of the hero path.
And where we had thought to find an abomination
we shall find a God.

Where we had thought to travel outwards
we shall come to the center of our own existence.
And where we had thought to be alone
we shall be with all the world.”
