Title: Waste of a series
Product review: While I loved the light touch and deft humor of the first series (Man of His Word), this series has a much darker and heavier tone. Duncan pulls it off in the first book (Cutting Edge), introducing more nuanced characters than the first series.But he goes completely off the rails in this book (and its successors). First of all, the first 20-30 pages are almost an exact retelling the of end of the first book. Next, he bounces us from character group to character group never allowing the reader to get involved in anyone new. Characters that we knew in the first series act in strange ways. And finally, the series takes dark turns and with the lack of sympathetic new characters, the turns are fairly pointless.
