I enjoyed the wax and wayne but they were diluted.

It kind of reminded me of a pulp steampunk western -- which poked fun at itself. Lighthearted.

But nothing was really as savage and solid as the first Misborn.

You know what I actually had nut problems with -- Speaker for the Dead - Orson Scott Card.

That whole trilogy, I'm not even sure if I've gone all the way through it.

Enders Game and Ender's Shadow were easy wins for me.

But the speaker for the dead took me several tries to get through -- this is nut levels.

Weird mixture -- series -- between wanting more from the characters, and then that whole nothing is quite like the first one phenomenon.

Harry potter, on the other hand, I feel doesn't get really good until book 3-5.
