mikeypwest 's review for:
Tower Lord
by Anthony Ryan
3.5 stars. I agree with majority of reviewers that this book was inferior to the first in the series. However, there were certain things loved about this book. I did like we had different viewpoints unlike the first book. It made for a different feel, but I really enjoyed Lyrna and Vaelin's viewpoints - especially Lyrna's (her character and story stole the spotlight from Vaelin I think). I was a little disappointed what happened to her at the very end though...it felt a little superficial... We'll see if how it plays out in the next book.
There were things that I really didn't like as well.
The character and viewpoint that really soured the book for me was Reva (a new character). Her character just felt out of place in a great story and a lot of her actions and the plot around her felt boring, contrived, forced, and just plain weird sometimes. Frentis has his own viewpoint which I didn't like at first but when he got past his major obstacle, it got better.
Overall a good book, but disappointing as it didn't live up to it's predecessor.
