Helpful Score: 2

This has been one of my favorite series, but I am sad to say that I wanted more out of The Golden City. The Traveler pulled me in with the initial introduction to the Vast Machine, the Brethen/tabula, the Harlequins, travelers, pathfinders...so much excitement and movement with Maya, Gabriel and their friends v. Tabula and their control over Michael. And the Dark River yanked me further into John Twelve Hawks world where we get to see different realms and explore the possiblities. And then we come to The Golden City as the fight between the Corrigan brothers escalates, Michael v. Gabriel, control v. freedom, safety v. chaos. I know this series has a LARGE political message, but in this third addition, I felt that I was consumed by the political message, and the story of the characters I have come to love came second, as a background. So while I will be recommending this series to anyone who loves a great read because I still find it as a whole to be in my top 3, I am not as satified as I could be with the Golden City.
