pieroginomicon 's review for:

The Mongoliad: Book One by Greg Bear, Mark Teppo, Erik Bear

2.0

This was quite a disappointment. A great setting, put in interesting historical period and place. However, I don't remember when read such a chaotically written book. Jumping from place to place, cutting scenes all the time. I guess that was made to make the storytelling more dramatic or dynamic. Moreover, none of the characters made me care of their motivations. Too many of them and not really properly introduced or developed. On top of that, the main premise of the story is just plain silly... I don't really think I will continue with the sequels.
