Continues the story well and an enjoyable read but somehow get to the end without much emotional attachment to any of the characters.
The story is structured like this: various teams travel the Long Earth with different goals in mind.
Much of the conflict revolves around humanity and their ability to co-exist with trolls and other humanoids. The war in the title deals with the Datum government wanting to control humans on Long Earth worlds, since their departure damaged the economy.
Things don't rev up until the last 50 pages. I enjoy the light humor and writing style so much that I was willing to stick with it, but it can really try a reader's patience.
Like the first book, only seconder.
More about the main characters and some new ones.
New species, a terrible disaster (one that scares me in real life) and
more odd places amongst the Earths.
So, if you read the first one, you should read this one.
