Review title: A mediocre sequel to an outstanding masterpiece
Product review: "Blue Moon Rising" is one of the greatest fantasy books ever, a true masterpiece. Of course I was very excited when I heard about it being continued. I was anxiously awaiting the sequel and ordered it the day it came out.Well, I was in for a disappointment. While the beginning of the book is pretty good, it's rather another Hawk & Fisher book and doesn't have much to do with "Blue Moon Rising". And from the point the plot leaves Haven, things are going downslope. The remaining 3/4 of the book is plain mediocre. While it was certainly not boring and it was mostly enjoyable read, it never lives up to its promise to deliver a worthy sequel to "Blue Moon Rising".If you're a big fan of Simon R. Green and/or "Blue Moon Rising" (like I am), get this book. Else, it might not be worth the hassle.While "Beyond the Blue Moon" is certainly better than the overstretched Deathstalker series, it's way behind all other fantasy books Mr. Green wrote this far.
