Starman

by Sara Douglass

ONE LINE SUMMARY: Axis finally meets his half-brother, Gorgrael, in a battle to determine who shall be God.

I finally figured out why I keep reading these. These books are the literary equivalent of soap operas. You read them to find out what happens next, and not necessarily because you like the characters or the dialogue.

This book, in particular, was frustrating to read because whoever copyedited this edition evidently felt the same way about it as I did, and skipped over vast chunks. There is a lot of missing punctuation in this edition, and that pretty much sealed the deal on the series for me. I won’t be looking for the next 3 books, but I’ll probably check out the reviews on Amazon.com to find out what happened.
