The Soul Weaver

Another book I tried for a while to get through but had to give up. This is a sequel to Berg’s previous books in the same universe, now focusing on the previous leads’ son, who through some bad mistakes (to which he was deliberately led) is now essentially an avatar of evil, even though he doesn’t want to be. Entering the breach between worlds after being framed for an attack on his mother, he finds himself a kind of king (and also secures a love interest, if I’m not mistaken). Weird things are going on with disability—the other inhabitants of the breach, though not our protagonist, have physical disabilities but often extra powers too, and many of them seem to have been taken from the nonmagical world by forces unrevealed by the time I gave up. I just couldn’t invest in any of the characters, though as I write the plot down it sounds like there’s a lot of stuff happening. ( )

This is the most engaging of the series thus far. ( )
