Title: Otherland. City of Golden Shadow
Review: A disappointing book. I suffered through 700+ pages of the disjointed adventures of a number of principle characters in the expectation that towards the end, the individual stories would be pulled together with some reasonable explanations providing some satisfactory closure to the story.No such luck.What made it more disappointing was that with so many loose ends left dangling at the end of the book, some of the more obvious issues with the storyline become even less acceptable.There was too much "filler". The book could easily have been half the size with no loss of relevant information.However, even at half the size, the fact remained that as a reader I had been cheated out of a storyline ending.Expecting me to buy the next book in the series and potentially be left "hanging" yet again at the end, is to presume that I have some masochistic reading disorder.Shame on you Mr. Williams. You could have, at least, provided me with some value for the money I spent.
