And so, the epic continues. It's nice to return to a world you know so well, and see new events unfold, but somehow the lack of warfare makes the book in some way not as fascinating as the Worldwar series was. There's no conquering nations and then humans fighting back and then lizards conquering it again and so on, this time it's just characters in different places around the world doing random things. Could be it's just a slow start to the new series, and the action takes off in later books. I sure hope so.
