Some thoughts about The Wayfarer Redemption by Sara Douglass...
I was very disappointed with the ending to Crusader as well, though it didn't change my enjoyment of the previous books. Not all the characters endings were annoyinging but
I have read the Serpent Bride recently too. I had already read Threshold but not Beyond the Hanging Wall. I liked SB and noticed the similarities to the Tencendor books but hope that is just part of the 'set-up' and that we'll get thrown a few curveballs in the next books plot. I think Sara has done a great job of bringing all the books together, especially if you hadn't read all them.
Has anyone else read these or any other Sara Douglass books?
I actually saw her web site.. must have been shortly after posting this. I don't frequent here all the time.
I just finished the Serpent Bride. It's my understanding (based on her web page) that this was an attempt to bring back all her favorite characters into one novel.
The book was very good, although I am slightly disappointed that I am starting to see some of the same themes from the two Tencendor based series'. I hope she will steer me for a loop in the next book. Other than that, it was great. I'm disappointed that I have to wait for the next one now.
I also just read those last 3 books I didn't know about before (Sinner, Pilgrim, Crusader) and I have to admit, I absolutely HATED the end of the Wayfarer Redemption. The rest of the 6 books were great, but I despise the way she ended it.

Drago and Faradays ending left me feeling ripped off, I didn't like the whole Adam and Eve thing at all. It felt all wrong and didn't fit with the rest of the book. Caelums was much better
