Talulla Rising
by Glen Duncan
So I only read the first one of these books because of book club, but I finished it on the first (shorter) leg of a day of traveling and at the end, I was curious enough about where the trilogy's story would go (and especially one dangling mystery left in play from the first novel) that with only seconds to choose a next book to read before engaging airplane mode, I bought this.
I don't exactly regret it, but the tone and schtick here (both of which are pretty homogenous from the first book despite a different narrator here) starts to wear a little thin. The plot isn't much improved either. A lot of it just revolves around enemies showing up at inconvenient times having had the drop on the good guys all along, although in fairness, the good guys get to do the same thing a few times in this one. In the end, despite not resolving the mystery I was most curious about from the first book, I can't see myself continuing on with the series and reading the third one. from the descriptions it appears that this one will feature werewolf-vampire sex! Yeah, no, that's a bridge too far, thanks.
