Children of Memory

This started off well, but then became (in my opinion) unnecessarily confusing from around the 50% mark. Granted the confusion is explained towards the end, but not before I had lost interest in trying to keep track of what was meant to be happening. Also, the final unsatisfactory explanation was effectively - and almost literally - a deus ex machina.

So, the first book in this series was brilliant, followed by two disappointing sequels. In the event there is yet another book in this series, note to future self: don't!
