Disappointing. The story is still quite inventive, but for some reasons, there are dozen of repetitions, as if the author was paid by the line. I have seen this before, but that was i 19th centuries stories where the book started its life as a series in a newspaper or a magazine, hence the need to remind the reader of what had happened. Here is seems the author is paid by the line, because there is no reason to remind me what happened 5 pages ago by inserting a reminder/repetition that doesn't add anything to the story. The constant reminders are useless. They use loads of pages for nothing, as if I needed to be reminded of what happened in the previous chapter, or if the author was paid by the line. Or maybe the word ? By there are loads of repetitions. And they are boring, because they add nothing to the plot. They just waste place. and paper, and space, and my patience. Almost as if the author got paid more for repeating what he already said. Otherwise not a bad book. Did I mention the repetitions ? Tiring.

Totally different from the previous ones, even if there are recurring themes. It is only at the end that the link is made with vol2/3 of the original uplift. Conceived from the start as a saga spanning on several books, don't read this if you don't have the following volume handy :-)
