شب خندق

The repetitiveness has suffocated this trilogy. By the middle of the 2nd book, everything seems to have been said, mentioned, or witnessed once. The narrative gradually starts to work against itself. The novelty is unfortunately worn off beyond repair and the parallel stories don't quite match the way they did in the first book. Even though new and promising characters and situations are introduced in this volume, they don't amount to much and are summarily developed and put aside.

Now that I look back, I wish it had ended with the first volume, and not been dragged out to become this rather dull, almost cliché story.

Despite my dissipating appreciation for the trilogy, I will keep reading the final volume and post my opinion about it.
