One of the first posts I created on this blog was about the fantasy authors who inspired me the most. Australian author, Ian Irvine made that list along with the likes of Tolkien and Jordan. The fact that he made that list with those two shows you how much he inspired my own dabbling in fantasy fiction and how much I enjoyed his story and world-building. What follows is my review and general musings on The Worlds Cycle, an epic story which finally came to an end (or so we are led to believe) this month, with the publishing of The Sapphire Portal. This is the culmination of four main, linked series (The View From the Mirror, The Well of Echoes, The Song of the Tears, and The Gates of Good & Evil) which began in 1997.

Be warned, there will be spoilers.
