To Ride Hell's Chasm
by Janny Wurts
"Hazed. Clipped. Pitched. Hazed, clipped, pitched. Ad infinitum.
The book started slowly, and that's a crime even the very best books from the very best authors commit. Much worse is the barrage of action for the final two thirds. This can work for movies and TV series where the action is limited to an hour or two, but reading this took months longer than it should have by virtue of how exhausted I felt after every chapter. Even the downtime is "Pitched on the edge of Barqui-ino." The ebb and flow of good story-telling is just a barrage of tension. A far cry from the Empire trilogy."
