The Death of Nnanji by Dave Duncan
2.0
The only real positive thing I can say about this book is that the sentences are coherent and it is edited well.
First, the title is a cheat. Nnanji doesn’t die until ripe old age in the epilogue.
Second, there is no explanation of why the God of Jewels interfered again. Considering the end of the original series, this is highly suspect.
Third, it’s about Vixi and Addis, who we don’t really get to care about before they stumble into winning a war, mostly by accident.
It felt like a children’s book to give everyone a happy ending without even working for it.
I love Dave Duncan’s work. But this is possibly his worst book.
