A review by roba
The Mongoliad, Book Two by Greg Bear, Nicole Galland, Neal Stephenson, Mark Teppo, Joseph Brassey, Cooper Moo, Erik Bear
4.0
Another volume of exciting RPG-style adventure. Pretty sure the authors are keeping track of their (many) battle scenes with tabletop miniatures (probably lovingly crafted with tiny hammers by some blacksmith in Seattle) but to be honest, screw any books that aren't written by authors keeping track of the battle scenes with tabletop miniatures.
This part suffers slightly from being a bit inbetweeny - all the strands are in the middle of what they're up to, and I couldn't always remember who was who and what they'd been up to in the first book. But I guess ideally you'd read the entire series in one go, or indeed read it in ongoing 'serial' style, which I think is the idea of subscribing to the Mongoliad site.
