vinayvasan 's review for:
Wrath of Betty
by Steven Erikson
Exhilarating, exciting and exhausting, book 2 packs even more on Captain Hadrain Sawback's plate including a jealous captain (Captain Hans Olo), time travel and multiverses all of which are handled with panache, elan and a good deal of flying by the seat of the pants.
While book 1 was a simple beast, book 2 tries to outdo it at every turn, packing in a lot more concepts and ideas making it a less easy read. There are times when you just had to take a break and times where you had to go back to re-read sentences due to the plot mechanics. The whole adventure around the comiccon while being funny and to the points, has a fair amount of missteps, derailing the momentum of the book. But overall, funny as ever, with pointed jabs at a lot of things (including Trump) and a rollercoaster ride
