I agree that the end was rather predicable, but then that can be said about a lot of books. Regardless, the most excitement for me came not from wondering how it will end, but from the elaborate process of revenge. That, and generally seeing a character so thoroughly taking on the role of delivering providence and how this affects him.

Even after everything he does for revenge, does any of it really make up for the years and years of drawn out suffering that the others so easily forced on him?

But in saying all that, this was one of the first books I read, so maybe when I reread it I will be as disappointed as when I went back to Magician.
