review 1: I have noticed the reviews for Nolander fill the spectrum from bad to great. I enjoyed this book. Beth is believable, and the world is unique enough and built well enough to be intriguing. I agree that Ghosteater's segments would be better presented in third person from his point of view, but the interludes did not disturb me enough to change my opinion of the book. I am disappointed that the sequel is not yet available.
review 2: I was a bit hesitant to download Nolander first, because it is part of a series. I have read way too many books in this genre that are part of a trilogy, and consequently, NOTHING happens or comes to any kind of conclusion in the first book (probably intended to draw readers in and make them buy the second book, but that's not how it
... moreworks for me, unfortunately). However, this book is different. Nolander is just a very, very good read. I couldn't put it away, and the many twists and turns keep you guessing in a GOOD way and not a frustrated 'oh-my-god-what-the-hell-is-going-ON!!' way. The writing style is fluent, there's lots of humour in this book, the main character is sympathetic, the supporting characters are not black-and-white or two-dimensional, and there's a great plot. Don't pass this one up. Wonderful book! less

This started off really good, but about 1/3 of the way in, I no longer cared to finish it.
