River of Blue Fire (Otherland, #2)

8/10
In the second book of the series Tad Williams continues to impress as he has added more characters than the previous book, more worlds and much more incredible ideas combining them all into a complex, and weirder, story where only himself could have made.
The story continues right where the previous one left of with Williams expanding his world-building, making it even greater than what he showed in the first book, and with the protagonists going through incredible, and unbelievable, adventures while in the meantime some revelations start coming about the plans of their enemies and what they’re, ultimately, after.
Of course the book has also some problems, though small, as I felt that the story drags a bit more than it needed (mostly in the middle of the book), but as it goes on it becomes more and more better and with the ending having a really good cliffhanger while Williams leaves a lot of promises for the next books.
Overall I can say that, besides its few flaws, I’m quite pleased of how this book turned out in the end, as also with Williams' writing that I’m starting to believe that he actually fits better with Sci-Fi stories.
