These books are so good and so dense, that I alternately find myself avoiding reading them and wanting to devour them in a single sitting.
sevve's review against another edition
W tym tomie widać już spore różnice pomiędzy książkami a serialem. Przede wszystkim w składzie postaci - wątki na Behemocie przejmują zupełni inni bohaterowie. Drummer nie ma i jej wątek jest przejęty przez grupkę innych ludzi. Ashford ma również zupełnie inną rolę i muszę przyznać, że o wiele bardziej wolę to co zrobili z nim w serialu. Holden schodzi trochę na bok, a sporo kartek dostają Clarissa i Anna, które były ok.
Alex to wciąż praktycznie samo imię na kartkach. Dostaje raz na jakiś czas parę słów do wypowiedzenia, żeby czytelnik o nim nie zapomniał, ale i tak jest ciężko. Mogłoby go nawet nie być. Mam wrażenie, że autorzy kompletnie nie wiedzą co mają z nim zrobić, ale potrzebują pilota, więc muszą go trzymać. To, albo w kampanii RPG, na której te książki są oparte, mieli kumpla, który odgrywał Alexa, ale nie było go na prawie żadnej sesji i musieli gdzieś go chować, żeby gdzieś tam "był".

It took me quite a lot longer to warm to the characters in this story than previous ones in the series, but I ended up being sucked in by the story and characters about halfway through.

This part of the series is where it could fall apart or get me really hooked and this one did the latter. You get some payoffs from some earlier books in this one including one whom we thought might be gone. The series has a lot of regular tropes in it so some might find it annoying especially since it is so long, but it manages to come back around because the characters are so strong and you get a lot of small details in how they think and move that brings them to life.
Even in the descriptions of how someone is moving or processing stay unique even though many times you are getting a type of pause. I've never thought about how important those can be for story purposes. All of the maneuvering and political machinations continue and I had to pace myself to not rush to get to the next book when I was finished.
