Title: MAKE IT STOP
Review: You know what? It doesn't get any better.I know, I know. You too were roped in by the awesomeness of The Golden Age and just HAD to see what came next, right? Sure, the first book started to drag a bit before it ended, but that was just because Wright had to fill some pages, right? The awesomeness would return in the middle book, just like the "Empire Strikes Back," right?NO.This book is godawful, terrible bad. This would make Vernor Vinge cringe. It's epically, pompously, annoyingly horrendous. The action is so wordy that you can't follow it. The conversations sound like they were lifted from 1940s B noir. The most compelling plot points are buried in a sea of sloppily constructed speechifying.It gets two stars for being imaginative and for tying up some loose ends of the first book, but make no mistake that I am strongly urging you to avoid this hack job.
