Description: "Having just finished the final book, I can say that the whole trilogy is terrific. Told through a variety of voices, the story is rich and compelling. Carey's world building is superb. These Iremongers and Heap House reminded me again and again of the equally weird world of Mervyn Peake's marvelous Gormenghast books. The characters are similarly strange, the language ornate and original, the place fabulously described, and the plot riveting. In addition to being a terrific read, the books themselves are gorgeous, full of Carey's art. Dark at moments, emotionally charged at others, this is one superb series."
