My main bit being the constant repetition. Many of the characters got treated far better as far as their writing is concerned, so it isn’t all odd and confusing in that sense, but it was odd and confusing enough that it made the other off-points in the book more noticeable. Not because of their actions, but because I just found the change of heart to be far too sudden and far too intense. They went from someone you’d cheer for to someone that made you groan when their part in a chapter came up. One character, I shall not name said character due to spoilers, went from being good to bad in what felt like the flip of a switch. They just didn’t have the same cunning about them as previous twists in previous books/series.Īnother thing that felt a tad off was the character progression. So much so that I have a little less respect for the characters that were tricked by said twists and turns. Nothing about it was outwardly bad, just a little odd and easy to see coming as far as the twists and turns are concerned. This book was a mixture of good and ‘ok’. So much so that I had to check to make sure it said ‘trilogy’ rather than ‘series’. A finale to the Age of Madness Trilogy it may have been, but it felt like it was all build and very little conclusion. However I feel a better subtitle would have been ‘A Prologue to the Next Series’. The Wisdom of Crowds is billed as the ‘Riotous Conclusion to the Age of Madness’. My Rating of ‘The Age of Madness’: 3 out of 5 The banks have fallen, the sun of the Union has been torn down, and in the darkness behind the scenes, the threads of the Weaver’s ruthless plan are slowly being drawn together. while Black Calder gathers his forces and plots his vengeance. And in the bloody North, Rikke and her fragile Protectorate are running out of allies. Orso will find that when the world is turned upside down, no one is lower than a monarch. With nothing left to lose, Citizen Brock is determined to become a new hero for the new age, while Citizeness Savine must turn her talents from profit to survival before she can claw her way to redemption. Now that belief will be tested in the crucible of revolution: the Breakers and Burners have seized the levers of power, the smoke of riots has replaced the smog of industry, and all must submit to the wisdom of crowds.
Some say that to change the world you must first burn it down.
