Good introductory novel
3
By RicJm
This book was the author’s first novel. It was written over 40 years ago so many of the interactions between the characters as well as the use (or lack) of technology might feel strange and hamper the enjoyment of the story for some readers. In addition, some actions of the main character feel unrealistic and, at times, contrived. However, if you can set those objections aside overall it was an enjoyable read. Not Four stars but a solid 3 1/2. As the first of a four novel set it is a good introduction to this character. I am looking forward to reading the other three novels in this series.
