Tower on the Rift by Ian Irvine
Tower is the second in a four part series. But as the author states in a note at the end of book 4 (I stole a peek when I bought it the other day), this is one epic story that was chunked up for consumption. We pick up imeadiately where we left off in A Shadow on the Glass. And go on a whirlwind from there for the first fandfull of scenes. Which is good based on the sudden cliff you fell of at the end of Shadow.
There are several problems I’ve had with the writing style of the book. Too often subjects are not well defined. It’s funny that I should make that complaint since I’ve had several people who complain that I do the same to them. Also I have issues with how abrupt both of these books have ended. I think it’s the lack of denouement.
