Dark of the Moon by P.C. Hodgell
3.0
I enjoyed this book but nowhere near as much as the first one. A big part of what worked for me was the culture of the city Tai-tastigon, the people and how Jame navigated and interacted with them all. The rest of the world seemed rather pale in comparison to the richness of the city.
I also don't care much for military stories or political intrigue, you can't trust anyone even though you will and probably get betrayed stories as a rule, and while I could be wrong as I haven't read any of the other books, that seems to be where this series is heading which has seriously cooled my interest. Someday I need to find and read the rest, just to be sure.
Still, it was well worth reading, I just find I don't go back to it as much as the first one, it doesn't resonate with me as much, and if I ever lost it I probably wouldn't try to replace it, while I know I would Godstalk.
