Good not great

So this series starts great but seems to be getting worse as it goes on first 3 are some of my favorite books ever

Awesomeness

Another great book in the series. how does he do it. let's see if he keeps it up!

Surrealistic

Weirdness from Faerie is entering the world and threatening Home. At the same time, a former slave and former member of one of the strike teams from Home has gone rogue. These must be investigated.

This book is written in first person, from the PoV of Walter Slovotsky, perhaps the most interesting character in the series. Walter is the definition of an unreliable narrator, but Rosenberg was a talented enough writer to communicate both the text and the subtext clearly, showing both Walter's often unpleasant public face and his much more sympathetic hidden character.

The story takes a bit of a detour into the consequences of the actions of the rogue before continuing on into a surrealistic trip into Faerie, which has very significant consequences.

There is very strong character development for several of the characters that feels like natural consequences of their personalities and actions, but the plot is more than a bit scattered. The story is important to the arc of the series, but this is not, by itself, one of the better entries.

Its okay...

Lot of male archaic ideas here, but still the book is enjoyable. Worth continuing the series. Good sale book.

Snoozefest!

I initially started this series in the 80’s and put it down after 4 books. This year I reread all up to here and this last was so painfully boring. First 1/3 could have been completely edited out.
