The Angel's Game

is a mess. i finished it last night, and the details are evaporating from my memory, leaving nothing but a sense of dissatisfaction.
the only thing to recommend it is that it is set in the same world as the delightful Shadow of the Wind. (and i have just stolen from you the moment of joy that comes from recognition. if i thought it outweighed the mediocrity of the rest of the experience i would be more careful.)

Now I wish I had gotten it and read it over the summer, so I could approach it with pure joy. Oh, well.

i'm sorry. i think perhaps my hopes for it were too high.

Mine may be, too. I'll let you know what the result of a lowered-expectations reading is.

Gee, that's...discouraging. Oh well...

Thank you for taking that hit. I read "Shadow of the Wind" while we were in London, before it was released here, and thought, "Score!"

Was dubious about the second, life got in the way of buying it to see, and you have generously saved me from myself.

I appreciate your sacrifice.
