What I don’t like about these books is their form – as short stories – what I mean is, that reading them as one book wouldn’t work for me because I want to take it sequentially and therefore I’d have to stop at one point and star another book because the last two stories are after some other books, at least according the time-line. And reading them as separate books is also not the same because they’re too short to build up some atmosphere and suspense, not a very good one, though I admit that the stories got slowly better. But it was odd how there’s been many years between them – 25 years between 1-4 and a thousand between 4 and 5, just then it again was following on each other directly – I mean why? Why not take it a little bit slower?Oh, and the thing with the Keshiri people – when they’ve been able to steel all their Uvak I certainly wouldn’t just flee and try to find a new home and risk that many would die during the journey, I’d rather have my own city back, so I don’t understand why wouldn’t they rather fight.Well, anyway, I doubt I’ll read them again, they’re nothing that special. I really do with these stories were a bit longer, because they really are interesting and I do want to know more but it's irritating to get to a really interesting part and suddenly it's done two paragraphs later. I did like this one more then the first in the series, Precipice, as I felt the writing was a bit better and now I can honestly say I like it. I just wish there were more to it then the 47% there is before it gives you a 'teaser' for the next one.
