Review of 'On the Shoulders of Titans' on 'Goodreads'

This was all right. The first book had a nicer structure I think. A beginning and an end. It of course ended in a high-stakes fight for the fate of the world.

Review of 'On the Shoulders of Titans' on 'Goodreads'

After the awesome first book, this was really disappointing.

The first book was great with all the learning and tinkering and stuff.
