review 1: Somewhat blokey Sci-Fi (albeit with several lead characters), and quite complicated parallel-worlds premise which takes a fair bit of catching up to if you haven't read earlier books in the series (I hadn't).Still, some interesting ideas, especially where the author tries to get inside the head of how the Bush-era US military would deal with a political threat from a parallel universe in the medieval era ;)
review 2: I'm ready for this series to be over. He has to spend so much time each book reaquainting us with all the characters and reminding us again and again of the complicated situations. All I can say is if he doesn't do a line by line reveal in the last book I will be severely pissed off. I hate these bits of dialogue he writes, which are very true t... moreo the way people talk, but leave so much unsaid that it's hard to keep track of who's speaking, let alone what's going on. The ideas in this series are interesting and they make me think...and I want to think about economics and numclear warfare not concentrate on who ven Hajalmer is or keep track of made up acronyms in a pseudo-US government. And about that Tom Clancy-style that keeps infringing on my fantasy novel...yeah I can do without that. I don't care what sort of guns they're using and I don't know the difference between them. Big guns, automatic weapons, but I don't need the specs. less
