Tower Lord

A huge disappointment. Doing everything wrong that The Bone Song did right. The Tower Lord wasn't a bad book by any means and I'm sure many of you will still enjoy it. But it lacked the power of the first one. Particularly, the complaint most people seem to have is that the Vaeilin story line is weak and very little focus is given to him, as in the first book. There's new POV's too, but most people are interested in the original hero. It's akin to Patrick Rothfuss writing Book 3 of The Kingkiller Chronicles and making the first couple chapters about Kvothe, then spending the rest of the book on a couple other characters. No, just no. At this point, I'm not sure if Ryan Anthony is a one hit wonder. Let's hope he gets back on track with the next book.
