It's a better book, IMHO.<BR/><BR/>Also, I didn't read "The Dreaming Void" yet, but I know that it is set in the "Commonwealth universe" a few centuries after "Pandora's Star/Judas Unchained", so I'd suggest starting with "Pandora's Star", which is a very good book as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158536.post-30573144489891889592008-11-28T17:07:00.000-05:002008-11-28T17:07:00.000-05:00I re-read Lord of Light recently and it's still as...I re-read <A HREF="http://piaw.blogspot.com/2008/10/review-lord-of-light.html" REL="nofollow">Lord of Light</A> recently and it's still as good as I remember it, but I couldn't get past the first chapter in Perdido Street Station. Maybe he spends too much time world building and not enough time getting a plot going so I couldn't get excited about it. That's one problem Acacia doesn't have --- I got hooked right from the start!<BR/>(Sorry about the double post.

He's gonna have one heluva time! :-)<BR/><BR/>BTW, when you get a gap after The Dreaming Void, give his Night's Dawn Trilogy a read - genre-smashing brilliance! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
