Howling Dark by Christopher RuocchioMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
On to the second book of Ruocchio’s Sun Eater series, now with a little less gladiating and a lot more interstellar intrigue, with dashes of interesting action and promises of more of the reason behind Hadrian Marlowe’s massive in universe infamy. Sadly this one is a definite step down from the first book, because much of this one is a whole lot of words that don’t say much, with relatively little plot progression over its great length - nearly 700 pages this time around. Still, though, Ruocchio’s detailed world building keeps my attention more than anything else, and I’ve already got Book 3 on order to keep the journey going.
