Im bummed about Strafa. Haven't finished WBA yet, but my biggest bitch is: where is all the humor??? In all the earlier books I couldn't go three pages with out at least a chuckle! It was 50-60 pages before I laughed at anything in this one. And I REALLY hope there is another book! This series is way too fun and endearing to go out so darkly.

I found WICKED BRONZE AMBITIONS reminded more of one of those Shaklespearean
Historical plays where as lot of innocent beings wind up dead; in fairness, the body
count is less than in Hamlet. That still makes for less than enjoyable reading.
I'llattempt to omit spoilers: those who have read this tragic story will know of an early and a
much later death-like event both of which occur in one instance to a character
around whom there is a positive valence and in the other to one whose sole
flaw is that of [deleted to avoid spoiler].
I certainly hope there is sequel; WICKED BRONZE AMBITIONS IS very well written; Glen Cook
is incapable of bad writing. But I am really hoping for a sequel to WBA to take the bad taste
out of my mouth!

I can't believe we've heard the last of the Dead Man. He's got to go out with a memorable line (if not more).
