On the Shoulders of Titans

Overall I think the book is decent, has interesting magic and an interesting plot line. My only real gripe with the book is that I find it to be repetitive and there's too much monologue in it (a fair amount seeming to be a repeat from something he's already monologued about). While I like learning about the magic and his thoughts, I find the way it's laid out to lack depth.

I think overall it just lacks a bit of focus and is drawn out when it doesn't need to be. I still recommend it if you want a quick read with an interesting magic system but I wouldn't expect top level writing. After the first book though, which I loved, I'm interested to see what the next will be like and will definitely plan on reading it.
