What a ride, what a great read! Like Sovereign, Revelation was even more intense, more detailed, more enthralling and more fascinating than the previous volume, and one of the most satisfying - and heart-stopping - books I've read for a while. The subject was again particularly fascinating - and the most intense of all books so far -, and once again written with a terrific eye for detail and historic fact, playing masterfully with various plotlines and old and new characters to create a feeling for the reader to be right in the middle of everything and experience the story as if it were real.
Poor Matthew, though, once again he was put through the wringer and had to fear for his life more than once, and got his good share of violence and pain, both physically and mentally.
A plot point I really enjoyed was how he and Barak fucked up with Guy - I was so afraid for Matthew's and Guy's relationship, and am still worrying about the long-term outcome. What an inconsiderate thing to do, to go so over Guy's head!
But also Adam's and Ellen's stories and how they developed - such a fascinating topic, and so well done! ( )
