Robert Jackson Bennett may not be as prolific as some authors, but his writing is outstanding and worth the wait. Locklands is the last in his Founders trilogy, and boy, is it a doozy. It truly is a culmination of each previous book in that our heroes now fight on enemy turf instead of their own. We finally get the answers to Clef’s origins and the identity of the Hierophant. While that will not mean anything to anyone unfamiliar with the first two books, trust me when I say these are big reveals worthy of an ending. Told with the same care and wit as The Divine Cities trilogy, Locklands is clever, fascinating in its intricacies, and so well-written as to make the most complex situations easy to imagine. I will gladly read anything Mr. Bennett writes in the future.
