review 1: Continua a non convincermi come autore... ammetto che la lettura è stata abbastanza scorrevole, ma alcune scelte stilistiche non riesco proprio a digerirle. Principalmente trovo che non sia capace di enfatizzare le scene più rilevanti nella giusta maniera. Alcuni avvenimenti chiave vengono descritti in poco più di una frase e mi è capitato più volte di dover tornare indietro nella lettura per non aver colto un certo episodio, complice sicuramente anche la lettura leggera e svogliata indotta dal libro.La trama non è niente di eclatante, sicuramente inferiore al primo capitolo. Il classico libro di mezzo di una trilogia non eccelsa.
review 2: This had a very different feel to the first book in the series. I was more of a droll military fantasy. I liked it, ... morebut not as much as the first book. The plot lacked the humor and fast pace of the first book, but was still interesting enough. I enjoyed learning more of Bosco's plans for Cale and the world as a whole and his scheming made for compelling reading. He does think big! Cale is still an interesting character to read about, but he is a bit less likable in this one as he was still struggling to come to terms with Arbell's betrayal. Both Vague Henry and IdrisPukke had smaller roles and that is largely the reason why this lacked the humor of the first book. Kleist has a subplot of his own and it was good to learn more about him as a character. He is not the most likable guy ever, but I felt like he grew over the course of this book. All three of the younger characters are a great mix of cynical and naive. It makes them easy to like despite some of their actions. The ending was quite a shock and it will be interesting to see how things develop in the third book.Rating: 4 stars. Audio Note: Sean Barrett's performance is nothing short of fantastic. I'd not be surprised if he added at least a star to my rating! He just gets the dry cynical humor of this story. less
