Helpful Score: 1
I don't read science fiction much anymore but this story seemed intriuging and the next book in the series got rave reviews so I though I'd start at the beginning. I would recommend you do the same as this book does get very detailed. The main character is a story-teller/puppeteer, not only traveling the spans to perform but to collect stories. The first part of the book is wonderfully told, both past and present stories. The last 1/3 abruptly switches to another character, so the reader knows the two will be crossing paths, which happens near the end, setting up the sequel nicely. This second story had a totally different feel, left me squirming alot. I do enjoy the way the author sets the scene and he is very good at dialog and motive. I'm looking forward to the next one.
