    Probably closer to 2.5 stars, this book started off really slow for me. I didn't really feel engaged till about halfway through. Though its a prequel, I have not had a chance to read the first 3 books published about the Hain universe. Perhaps, if I had, I would have got a bit more out of the early parts of the book.

    It is a novel with big ideas, but very little action until that halfway point of the book. Unlike "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress", which has the seeds of lunar revolution occurring from the beginning, the beginning of this novel doesn't have that immediate sense of tension which put me off to start. I was expecting a similar sort of feel going in and when it wasn't there, I felt a little let down.

    My local library doesn't have the first 3 books (in publishing order) of the Hain universe, but I am interested in reading them, if for no other reason than to see if it raises my appreciation of this book. I fully expect that were I to go back and reread this story again at a later date, that I would enjoy it more now that I have a different set of expectations.

    Is this helpful?
