This isn't one of Terry's best, but it's still readable and still has the same hallmarks he's known for. The only real criticism I have is in regard to the format. On my Kindle, all the footnotes are gathered together at the end, so it's a pain to rea ...more

There are a lot of words in this book and a limited amount of plot. All the characters talk far too much and don’t say a lot. The writing is very imprecise. As an example; near the beginning of the book is a short scene in which one man kneels down i ...more
