River of Blue Fire by Tad Williams

4.0

This is my fourth book to finish this year and the second in the Otherland series. This is less a series of books than it is one book divided into four volumes. So, if you haven't read Otherland: City of Golden Fire, get that on first.

This book is a fun mash up of sci fi, fantasy, and cyberpunk. I don't want to get into the details because they would only be spoilers for the first book, but imagine Star Wars meets War Craft meets Oz meets the Matrix. The cast is really diverse and its members have so many different motivations and hidden objectives, that you can never be sure who is going to do what and why.

I will definitely continue on in this series. I recommend, but read the other book first.
