The Risen Empire: Book One of Succession

Rating:
Summary: Half a book
Review: This might have been fun. Instead, it stands as an example of the worst kind of attempt to double sales by marketing half a book at a time.

The elements of adventure and political intrigue are present. By the end of the book, however, only one lame subplot has been resolved. The end result is an entirely unsatisfying read and a sense that your time has been wasted by a marketing gimmick.

I'm sure TOR expects us to come back, but it wasn't all that compelling in the first place. This consumer's dollars will go to a book that I can enjoy as a complete work. Maybe it's time for all sci-fi readers to demand at least that much consideration.
