I finally finished the Tower By Simon Toyne (spoilers, duh)

So I finally finished the tower, the final chapter of the Sanctus trillogy and I must say that I all makes sense now. From the happenings in the last book to the seemingly unconnected storylines from the last book.

We start in a dark basement that is of no use to the story (maybe it's an intro for a reason) but now we are on the tail of 2 FBI agents that are investigating an attack on the hubble telescope by some sort of extremist christian pastor and some nutters. in this storyline we also find that everyone wants to be at the place of origin (where they're born and not were they live or something. Even Shepard, one of the agents is pulled by this string to go home. For him home is where the love of his life is (or his daughter)

The second storyline, is that of the blight that appeared in the second book already, now the entire city of Ruin has been in quarentine in search for a cure when they're not burning the corpses of the death. When Gabriel rearrives at Ruin he gets let in and by the librarian guild of the montain he is viewed as a demon but it is also part of the prophecy and also part of the cure!

The key or Liv adamsens does also have a story line but like gabriel's storyline its in italic for some reason  she has her own problems in the desert, she has found the location of eden in the last book and is now some ind of shepard to some nomadic people and the ghost and his company has been death and buried.
She is going to lead them to a safehaven when they are reunited with gabriel the father of her baby.
Here is where all the storylines come together and finding out that the apocalypse is just the birth of a couple of new stars and the baby.

I think this book was fantastically written! in comparison with the last book this one has an absorbing story and had actually got me thinking what the ending was, but not like the first book to be honest. I like it that Simon Toyne had the FBI agents running around so the going home storyline was better lighted and stuff.
Therefore I give this book a 7/10 :)

The next book is going to be the escape c.l. Taylor. This is supposed to be the female version of Stephen King without all the fame knowing him according to the internet that is :)
