I picked up a few new books while I was in Denver (mainly to say thank you to Tattered Cover for sponsoring the goodie bags) and because I was bored (and exasperated) with Steel Beach I started reading Lord Tophet on the plane. I haven’t been able to put it down since, and I may well end up writing an actual review. I can see that some people won’t like it, because not everything is explained at the end. However, it has one of my all time favorite last lines for a novel (which of course I can’t tell you because it would be a spoiler).

I liked it too-but I think I liked Shadowbridge better-although I agree about the last line.
I was reading the final version in Denver/on plane as well. Good to hear that others were too. Since I read most of it in draft, the two books have always been seamless to me. Except for the scream heard all the way to Philly when I reached the end of the first book’s draft and demanded the opening of the second.
It sucks that Borders has declined to carry Lord Tophet.
