Urgh. The first 2/3, wonderful, as enjoyable as the first book. The last 1/3 was almost torture.

Authors: it is Incredibly Annoying when your characters keep themselves apart from one another because of Mysterious Reasons they won't tell one another Or Even the Reader. Nobody likes this. It is not clever, it is not suspenseful, it is not exciting, it is just Tedious.

So 5 stars for the 1st third, 5 stars for the middle, 2 stars for the last third, averaged (5 5 2 = 12, / 3 = 4).

(Note: 5 stars = amazing, wonderful, 4 = very good book, 3 = decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. I'm fairly good at picking for myself so end up with a lot of 4s). I feel a lot of readers automatically render any book they enjoy 5, but I grade on a curve! ( )

Epigraph
The voice I hear this passing night was heard
In ancient days, by emperor and clown:
Perhaps the self-same song that found a path
Through the sad heart of Ruth, when sick for home,
She stood in tears amid the alien corn;
The same that oft-times hath
Charmed magic casements, opening on the foam
Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn.

Keats, Ode to a Nightingale
Dedication
First words
Of all the cities of Pandemia, only Hub had no legend or history of its founding. Hub was a legend in its own right, and history was its creation.
