Ptolus: City By the Spire #1
AWFUL. I can't figure out what's going on. It seems to me that the only people who will enjoy these books are those who are already familiar with the world and characters within. This new venture should be good as a jumping on point if Marvel or Dabel Brothers want to attract new readers, and if the last few books I've read are any indication, they're not. Even the Alvin Maker books aren't very good. They're okay, but that's because they're a direct adaptation of the second book in Orson Scott Card's brilliant American fantasy series, The Tales of Alvin Maker. That book might also be better if it came out with any sort of regularity. But it's been released only once in each of the last two years, which is completely unacceptable if they desire to draw in new readers. If there's any series that deserves more readers, it's the Alvin Maker series. But to my mind this entire Dabel/Marvel project has been an utter failure so far.
