hedge 's review for:
Tower Lord
by Anthony Ryan
A disappointing followup to the first book, although still a very enjoyable plot. The change in narrative style is not effective and Ryan's attempts to juggle multiple points of views and develop multiple characters (similar to George RR Martin) leads to lackluster characters that jump forward in their world views and mannerisms with a staccato rhythm. The pace of the book is simply too fast for the upheaval in the characters lives. Characters undergo profound changes to their world views with only a fumbling attempt at communicating the struggle and pain this would create.
