Age of Death by Michael J. Sullivan
3.0
I probably made a mistake reading this one so soon after it came out. Unlike the first three books in this series, the second three are really one long book separated into three parts. The author explains why in the preface. But for me, there were so many characters, so many place names, and so many subplots that I had some trouble remembering who was who, what their goals were, and the details of the complex world building, cultures, and deity structure involved. This resulted in my missing some nuances in the plot along the way, I'm sure.
Recommend waiting until book six is out (on the fast track to be published in May 2020, so not a long wait anyway) before embarking on this second half of the series. (This has the additional benefit of not having to endure two hard-core cliffhangers as well). Had I done that, this book would probably have earned another star or two from me.
