review 1: Why only 3 stars after having given Green 5? For several reasons: this second part of Green's tale was a little too action-packed for me. It seemed every other page was some intense battle, which got old after the first half of the book. Green was all about setup and character and establishing place and people and goals: it was a story of growth. Endurance, instead, was plot driven, which doesn't make it bad, by any means, because I did enjoy it, it just wasn't as good as it's first. I did enjoy the bittersweet ending and look forward to what holds in Green's next chapter...
review 2: There are a few things I really love about Jay Lake's work--his prose, worldbuilding, and character arcs--all of which are present in Endurance. Once again Green gets herself enta... morengled in the affairs of the gods, and despite her best efforts to hack and slash and theorize her way free, she only ends up even more enmeshed. I'm not quite sure how he does it, but his writing voice is half-wry, half-lyrical, and all Green. less
