Customer Reviews
Incredible sequel
“The second book is the hardest,” but Gemmell delivered remarkably well. This installation kept all the excitement of the original book while showing growth and adding a more nuanced, complicated antagonist. Definitely would recommend.
Fun!
Great read. Quick pace. Characters you care about and a story line that could almost be real today. Looking forward to #3
Better than the first book in series
Toll is an improvement over Changer, the author’s first book. Plot is tighter, though it still has its problems. Character development is more assured, except for a not-very-interesting romantic subplot, which doesn’t serve the plot. Author is developing as a writer; we’ll see what future books bring in terms of craft and new takes on tried-and-true thriller tropes.
