Book Reviews of Red Seas Under Red Skies
Book Review: Very disappointing sequel.
Summary: 1 Stars
Author spends a long time setting the scene. Plot becomes very convoluted. And everything unravels with amazing ease within the last 50 pages or so.
The pirate adventure is a miserable disgression which does not add anything to the plot. Long and uselessly descriptive. If I want to learn sailing, I will buy another type of book.
Book Review: Seems like a sequence to a 3rd book
Summary: 4 Stars
This second book seems like a book you could skip and not miss anything, but I'll have to wait until the third book to see if that statement is true. It is a fairly self-contained book with a lot of time spent on pirates, which was a bit unexpected.
It was good, but I'm hoping the third book ads more to the story.
Book Review: Pleasantly surprised!
Summary: 4 Stars
I just happened to stumble across this book in the library, and I am glad that I did. I have not read the first book in the series, but it didn't seem to matter.
I agree that it bogged down a bit in the middle (arrrr!), but there was enough tension to keep me interested. Overall, a fun read!
Book Review: Better then the first
Summary: 5 Stars
I liked this book better then LLL. The lead "villans" all seem to have a more realistic motive behind their actions. The Archon of Tal Velarr for example. Has quite a noble reason for being a scum bag. Unlike a lot of reviewers I really liked the time our boys spent on ship.Book Review: Grows on you
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a well done sequel. A lot more plots to keep track of to the point of making you dizzy, but pulled off well by the end and bittersweet. There is still a lot left unanswered and I hope to get some of those in book 3...hurry up November 2011!
