Review: A Terrible Sequel
Rating: 1 out of 5
Date: 12 5, 2013
Naero's Gambit, with the exception of four or five chapters, is a waste of material for a sequel and extremely disappointing.  In the past I have skipped pages, but never before have I skipped so many pages of drivel.Naero's Run was an entertaining book and had massive potential in a sequel.  Not happening. Our hero (I use the term loosely) has regressed in her development, to become an inept, irrational, irresponsible, sniveling pain.  She ignores directives from her superiors, does not listen to anyone or show any respect to others, throws temper tantrums; AND NEVER learns from her mistakes.  She keeps repeating them. Just another spoiled brat; running around the universe with unknown powers and potential.  I was disgusted with the character I came to like in the first book.  Several times Naero is given items that will benefit her people.  Then, you hear nothing further about it or she forgets about them.  I was hoping the author was a teenager, but then I realized even a teenager could develop a greater main character than our author has.I was hoping, beyond hope, that the Mystics would destroy Naero, so the book would end.  Once again, no such luck.  I fought my way to the end of the book.  There will be a sequel, I am certain, but I will not be buying it.  The Kindle price is outrageous.I could not justify giving this a rating of two. Waste of time and money.  Buy the first book because it is entertaining. Do Not believe all of the high ratings for this book. Spend your time and money more wisely, on a different author and book.
