Throy

Sadly, Throy doesn't live up to its predecessors, [b:Araminta Station 1876048 Araminta Station Jack Vance http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1266984907s/1876048.jpg 2705034] and [b:Ecce and Old Earth 40915 Ecce and Old Earth (Cadwal Chronicles, #2) Jack Vance http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1263177967s/40915.jpg 40500]. It's still Vance, and therefore a fun read. But he doesn't seem to have put much effort into this book, which seems a somewhat half-hearted effort to tie up loose ends. There's not a lot of mystery, and the expected resolution comes about, though with more callous bloodshed than one might anticipate.All in all, a decent and readable book. Definitely worth reading to finish up the series, but otherwise not interesting enough to be one of Vance's best.CVIE edition
