The Last Green Tree by Jim Grimsley

embereye's review against another edition

This story had a lot of interesting ideas, but I did not feel that it quite came together. Set 3 centuries after The Ordinary, and mostly on a different planet, I'm not sure that the story really pulled together. In some ways it did, but in a lot of ways it felt like yet another pre-story to a much larger tale.

I enjoyed it but wanted more out of it.

This book left me wishing I could remember the Ordinary better, but first it horrified me with child abuse and mass killings. The world is fascinating, but just too violent and creepy to be much fun.

This was ... weird. Sort of a sequel? In the same universe as Kirith Kirin, but ... weird. I didn't really like it very much - frankly most of the story didn't make a whole lot of sense to me, and the characters I remembered from the earlier books were either nowhere to be found or in storylines that didn't seem to really work with the main plot line. It was an odd book, I felt the whole time like I'd missed some critical step (and I know The Ordinary is in between - I read that, too, and it was better than this, but it didn't really help make sense of this one). I guess if you're a completist, read this, but all it really made me want to do is go back and re-read Kirith Kirin.
