![]() ![]() It's pleasant at first but by the time you reach the bottom of the tub you are a little sick of it and are feeling very unsatisfied. If you are like me you'll find this book eating a tub of cotton candy. I mean they are fine enough for one book but spending a series with them does not seem like a pleasant experience. The main character are a little grating and unlikable. Things start to get repetitive towards the end as the story just starts to tread water. The problem is the premise of this book, while clever, is not substantive enough to maintain a 17 book series or whatever the heck the Ian has planed. And it's not even fair to call it a triumph as it doesn't change anything in the world. Their big "triumph" is more of an accident then any action of the characters. The character end up in the exact same place they started. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, gets resolved in this book. ![]() It is well written with interesting ideas and fun, if somewhat small, fictional world. I would have given this book a perfect score if it wasn't the first part in an apparently very long series. ![]()
