A review by neversexsit
Tower Lord by Anthony Ryan
4.0
*Currently reading*
I am currently reading it, but I wanted to go ahead and write a review on the book and see if my view changed by the end.
I have read around 250 pages of the book and overall I think its fairly good. I don't care for an author changing their writing style in a trilogy, this however is what Anthony Ryan has done. To go from the view of Vaelin Al Sorna to the view of 4 characters, into which some feel unimportant (Reva). It is quite a change and certainly is poorly executed at the start. It is from what I have read one of the main complaints I seem to see about it. A *WE WANT MORE VAELIN AL SORNA" type complaint, which I jump on board 100%. However, after the beginning of the book and the confusion of what is going on, it gets interesting. I would love to be able to rate it a 3.5, but a 4 is all I can do. If Reva was taken out of the book then I could give it a solid 4, where I am currently at.
*edit*
In finishing the book I think that it deserves a 3.5 if that was an option, but instead I just gave it a 4 stars. Towards the end of the book it gets pretty good, but it just doesn't stand to the first in the series at all. A shame.
