Title: Too Heavy for Most Readers
Review: This book and its predecessor, "Aegypt", are much more weighty than Crowley's master works, "Little, Big" and "Engine Summer." Some might see these larger works as "meaty", but I just got weighed down. It took me a long time to finish this, and I didn't get any sense of completion when I did.Although this is supposed to be book two of a four-part book, I think perhaps Crowley has gotten a little bit too ambitious. This book has the speed of a snail, though given its weight the inertia of it along with that of "Aegypt" may cause the series to move more quickly towards the end!Crowley is such a master wordsmith that I can't give any of his books a BAD rating, but I certainly don't see this as one of his best.
