3.25/5

The Fall of Babel is a really good book but NOT at all in the same league as the previous entries


Quick Summary: The Fall of Babel is an answer to all the questions raised throughout the series.... What is the purpose of this tower ? Where is Adam ? Who is Sphinx and Brick layer ? and most important of them all Will Senlin reunite with his wife ?

WHAT WORKED FOR ME IN THIS BOOK:

Prose: Like the previous works by Josiah Bancroft, the prose in this book were pure brilliant. He outdone himself.

Answers: As the author says in the beginning of this book. All the questions raised in the previous books were answered.


WHAT DIDN'T WORKED FOR ME IN THIS BOOK:

First and the Final Act was without a doubt the weakest segment of this book which is unfortunately the main aspect of every book. It's quite weak that it made me feel like "That's it ???!"

As I said all the questions were answered but only very few delivers the emotional impact the story really REALLY needed.

And it didn't give me the finale feel at all to be honest.

But the Major letdown for me is the lack of Senlin in this one. The reason I started and enjoyed this series up untill this point is because of him. This was his series and we barely see anything of him. The Major storyline i.e Senlin and Maya's felt absolutely flat in the end.

FINAL WORD:

The Fall of Babel is a good book but it's not the fitting finale this series deserves and it's my least favorite in the series.
