Crescendo's Reviews > Zero Sum

Its an entertaining read ruined by forced climax. Mr Shier has certainly improved as a writer. Flow and pace of the book are much better this time around. Characters remain funny, believable and interesting. But the ending seems rushed. There is a lot of unnecessary exposition in last few chapters. Rise of new enemy and separation between two main characters seems contrived and obvious setup for third book, which takes away part of the enjoyment.
