The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again - M. John Harrison

My rating just about says it all. 254 pages of descriptions of weather and just plain jiberish, pseudo-intellectual mumble jumble. 100 000 names of places. Nothing happens. No answers are received. Totally unsatisfying end. Do not waste your time on this. I gave three points because characterization is good, as always with Harrison. Still I´ll be waiting for the next one.

The Tabit Genesis - Tony Gonzales

I like the world, I like the premise, good imagination and rather good writing. On the other hand, so many characters (who may have many names) that I got lost at times. This is written to be a Book 1 of a series, a setup for an upsell. That I don't really like. Things are left unsolved mainly. I don´t know if I´m going to buy the sequels, but I would definitely like to know how this all ends. Maybe my library can help me when the time comes. Mr. Gonzales is a great writer in my opinion, I hope to see a lot of new work from him. Maybe the problem with this novel was caused by the publisher. I still recommend this one. You can buy it for 5 bucks online, delivered. Worth it 100%.

Revenger - Alastair Reynolds

I like Mr. Reynolds´ writing, he is good. This book has maybe a little thin plot and the events maybe happen a little too easy for the characters, but it is a good book and worth reading. I like the World especially in this one, and the characters, and of course will read the sequels in time. I´m a fan! Good job.
