Maybe this is why Brooks' website suggests this would be a good trilogy for new readers of his work. Long standing fans will know that he has written better than this, which he must have done to have had a career spanning three decades. Newcomers such as me won't realise this and may therefore get more enjoyment out of the writing, even if the story is a little weak. Certainly, I have found myself keen to read the previous book in the trilogy for clarification and because this book makes it sound worthwhile, but I wouldn't want to read this again and I'm not enthused by the closing part of the trilogy, as this doesn't set it up at all well. This is one to borrow, not to buy, and even then only if you're a completist who has followed Brooks for his full thirty year career and can't bear to let any of his work pass you by.
