Razorland has always been dark and full of violence, but with Horde Aguirre really brings the pain. The series ends up being all about making hard choices and overcoming prejudice. Though I saw this coming as a possibility, I wasn’t positive if this was where Aguirre was driving the series or not, since it’s not necessarily a popular post-apocalyptic ending scenario. The plot goes in a really good direction and the series ends up delivering a really healthy message about tolerance and evolution. The Razorland trilogy is one of those rare instances where the series steadily improves over time, beginning pretty well and ending incredibly strongly. Horde has earned the series a right to stay on my shelves. Space in my collection is somewhat limited at the moment, unless I buy another bookshelf and I wasn’t sure whether I would want to revisit this series. When I finished reading Enclave, I sat it aside, waiting to see how the rest of the series would go before putting it back on my shelves.
