Alex Cabe reviewed The Legacy of Yangchen by Abrams Abrams Books

James Bond in the World of Avatar

3 stars

The author wanted to write a James Bond novel and did a pretty good, twisty job in the world of Avatar.

This very much relies on the events of the previous novel, and doesn't to a very good job recapping them in the text. These are written to be read back-to-back, rather than as they were released.

Something about Yee's writing just doesn't grab me the way other books do. Even when I like the story and am interested, I'm not eager to get to the next chapter and his books are generally a slow read.
