I usually enjoy Kay's books - I looked up my review for his most recent prior book, a companion to this one, and loved it - but this one is not engaging me as well as others. I feel like we've been here before, the alpha-male rivalry that drives the plot but was more powerfully done in
. Women characters are given the short shrift here, surprising because GGK usually does much better by them. I feel as though we're getting glimpses, short and vivid ones like movie trailers, of a big-budget epic we would love to see but will never get.
