/lit/ - Literature

Just finished reading this, I find it lacking when compared to it's predecessor. Firstly the novelty factor is much lower, which is understandable, it's the second book and as the series progresses the sense of familiarity will grow. Secondly the scale things took a nosedive, from trying to bring an empire to it's knees by kidnapping the daughter of it's ruler and stealing an artefact of great political importance, we went to being involved in a civil war in a minor city after the protagonist just wanted to buy a bloody bird to get on with his journey, a journey that actually takes place in the 3rd book!!!! The premise is that he has to reach a place, but is caught up in trouble after a mishap in a foreign city (don't accept money from strangers Tarl Tard!) and the whole book is detour he has to take to fix his own mess after causing a civil war (again).
