3.77 AVERAGE


Much shorter and less enthralling than Dune. The story was only average, which was somewhat disappointing. The writing was decent, but left a lot to be desired.

Real rating 3.5 stars
medium-paced

This was painful to read. Threats of political intrigue for 90% of the book.

Similarly to the first book, it took a good amount of world building before everything picked up, but when it did?? Madness
