Tak! reviewed Library of Broken Worlds
The Library of Broken Worlds was overall very dense and abstract for my taste. It reminds me a little of The West Passage in that respect, although it has a more serious and scifiy bent.
I feel like it picked up significantly around the halfway point, when the events in the flashbacks became more plot-oriented and the connections between the flashbacks and the god started to be revealed.
Overall, I enjoyed the out-thereness of the setting, but the book was not for me.

Amnandi Sails was a great followup to Breath, Warmth, and Dream - lots of searavens, merpeople, adventure, and an epic quest
Amnandi and crew have matured and developed, and there are plenty of new faces to complement the familiar
Great writing, great story, I'm looking forward to the next one
