Status Updates From Certainty

I can’t go below 2 stars for this author, since his earlier work is some of my favorite fiction. Unfortunately, this book was a big letdown. The story feels flat, and the dialogue is stiff and unnatural. It’s hard to believe this follows the Fourth Realm trilogy and Spark. At times, it barely feels written. Still, I’ll look forward to his next book and hope it’s a return to form.
