I kept feeling as if I should like this book more than I did. It's got a neat mix of tech & magic, something I'm usually quite partial to, but I never seemed to get into it. I think a lot of that was the main characters. I didn't find anything to connect with in either. They weren't bad, but just
not interesting for all their exploits nor were they very likable, even though they're pretty heroic underdogs since what they faced was way over the top.

Maybe that was part of the problem; a lot of this was over the top. Instead of a blend of fantasy & SF, it was more of car wreck blending the two together like unsecured passengers in a head on collision. It's just too discordant. There's some fairly humorous moments & a fair amount of action, but I always felt like an outsider looking in.

The first part of the book was tough to get through & then it got more interesting, but I only read it during lunch at work. I never wanted to pick it up at home. I finally did tonight just to finish the damn thing. It's become an albatross around my neck. So I'm done & kind of wish I'd just bailed on it a lot earlier. I can certainly understand if your take on the book is far better or worse than mine.
