|---|---|---|
16 March 2009 | Publication | Dust of Dreams was reviewed with the understanding that it formed the first half of a single concluding narrative, a context that shaped critical reception significantly. Reviewers generally acknowledged that judging it independently was beside the point - the novel's purpose was accumulation and preparation rather than resolution, and it delivered both with the density expected of the series at this stage. The Bonehunters' march into the Wastelands was praised for its atmosphere and its willingness to sustain ambiguity about the mission's purpose and outcome. Several character arcs reached significant moments that reviewers noted without discussing in detail given the spoiler sensitivity of a penultimate volume. The consensus was that Dust of Dreams did what it needed to do: position the pieces for a conclusion a decade in the making. |
