More Linkage For Your Enjoyment

Inspired by the last link post, here's another interesting review of A Conspiracy of Kings, http://heidenkind.blogspot.com/2010/04/conspiracy-of-kings-by-megan-whalen.html, in which Eugenides takes over the world and the fourth book is apparently a giant cliffhanger. I totally missed the cliff during my reading, though. I mean, it felt like an in-between book, but I didn't feel dissatisfied with the ending, unlike the reviewer. While I agreed with the discussion of Sophos's character change, I was a bit confused by that part. What do you guys think, is ACoK incomplete?

(And is Gen taking over the world? *dun dun DUNNN*)

"Sure if he does die then he'll go out in glorious it-was-for-the-good-of-the-world fanfare."

This is my issue with the thought of Gen dying. The way the story has been set up I don't see how it could be for the good of the world. And can you imagine what it would do to Irene?

IAWTC. If he dies, it'll make. Everything. Horrible.
