I have to admit I didn't enjoy The Golden Dice quite as much as I did The Wedding Shroud (first in the series). The pacing seemed to bog down a bit somewhere between half and three-quarters of the way through. I also don't like how even though this is a trilogy the ending of this one felt as if it ended abruptly. I didn't feel this way with the first book. Even with these faults I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
