The Beyond

Terrible that the end of the trilogy has to be so poor. Luckily, all the books existed largely independent of one another, so the impact is minimal. The problem was that the prose seemed to have changed. Where before the book used the voice of Cley, now Misrix was writing. His character is well read enough to have been clear, but Ford was probably unable to use the different style.
In addition, there was a lot of wasted white space on each page. The whole thing was off, taking way too long to start the interesting part of the book. Nevertheless, besides the boring adventure, the high-level plot seemed reasonable. Will still read Ford: 2/3 isn't bad.
