Review: So basically Tor 2.0?
Rating: 3 out of 5

EDIT: I do not retract from my earlier comments but I am giving this book another star becuase of the detail the author puts in making his world more "real". We learn far more about the players in this book then we did in the previous books and that is refreshing. Timmon still shows the character flaws of giving everything away (thats what bothers me the most, all our main characters just love to let themselves be taken advantage of while believing they are just doing whats right; the naiveity kills me) but he is smarter and a lot less clueless than Tor has ever been.ORIGINAL: When I first learned our beloved author was going to change from Tor to Timon, I was skeptical. Tor had finally become an interesting main character and now we weren't going to hear about him for a while. Didn't make sense to me but I don't write the books.So on to Timon, the whole time I've been reading I just can't shake this feeling of deja vu. Sure Timon keeps saying he's his own person and blah, blah, blah; but he is doing some of the same exact things Tor did in the first 5 books. To say I'm dissappointed would be extremely accurate.To be entirely fair I'm still only halfway through the book, so things could change toward the end, but I'm struggling to finish the book. I will update my review if and when I finish.
