booksthatburn's review against another edition
I tried to get into this, but it just didn’t happen. I liked the first one, but something about this just didn’t work for me.
A big part of the issue is that I can’t form mental images of things I haven’t seen, and as the locations and action became more strange and more focused on technically-not-magic space power battles and pocket universe stuff it creates long stretches when the only thing I could focus on is Caiden’s thoughts about things. I didn’t really like Caiden in the last book, and I didn’t like him any better here.
