A review by jeffy
The Way Into Chaos by Harry Connolly

4.0

I'm not sure how he does this, but Harry Connolly has terrible things happen to his characters in almost every chapter yet the tone of the book never sinks into grimness. Part of it is the short chapters with shifting point of view so when the grizzled veteran has been tormented enough we can switch over to the young magic user, and when she's been backed into a corner of certain disaster, we get a rest by going back to the grizzled veteran to see what he does next.

All three books are out now, and three is all there are, so it's safe to start this series and be able to read straight through at whatever pace suits you. I'm taking a break before moving on to the next book, but I will be moving on to the next book.
