Lamentation by Ken Scholes
#5
Not quite as good.

I think the problem is that it's the second book. The first book was very self contained with a definite ending. Sure there were loose threads that needed to be followed up, but the story concluded. In Canticle, it's just a bunch of running around. Rudolpho has to go find a cure for the problem with the baby. Vlad Le Tam has to find out who was behind the fall of Windemer. Neb has to go off into the wastes to follow up on a message from a Mechoservitor. All these paths end but they seem kind of slight. There were some dramatic reversals but nothing fundamentally changed.

It's good in a way because now I'm not dying to read the next books. I can wait. I don't have to check the release dates every day. I will read the next books and I hope they can recapture some of the euphoria I got reading the first book.
So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
