It is true that I am not impartial, I am a fan. But the more I read the more I hang James Clemens. The characters are always rich in textures. Their personality all their motivation is in place. History. It's too early to tell, since it is only the second volume. But James (May I call you James) has a brain in perpetual boil and we rebound picks such uppercuts that leave you KO (This is not a bad metaphor right?) Well it's officially recorded, I'm not as good as James. It's best that you read the book. A +
