Given how much I have to read, I don't know that I have the time to try the next one just to see if it all pans out in the end. But if you do read them all, you should definitely do a write up. You make a good point about supporting authors who try different things, though. And if it turns out that the trilogy ends up being worth it, then perhaps I'd take it back.

And in this book there are not many characters that I like. Except maybe Hekat's son. I think this book will aquire his value in the context of the full trilogy. I think it was a very bold move on Miller's part to start a series with such an unlikable character. And this is the reason why I would recommend this book. I really think we need to encourage authors who try differents ways to tell stories.
