The environmental model of Mars Book

I should know better than to expect anything more than mindless and immature nonsense in an unoriginal fantasy setting from Greenwood, but somehow I keep thinking he'll eventually come up with something worthwhile. Don't get me wrong, A DRAGON'S ASCENSION is somewhat better than the previous book, in that it actually progresses the overall plot of the series in a significant way, with the rise of the Serpent and Saraspar's unbelievable transformation. Unfortunately, the book still suffers from all the same problems the rest of Greenwood's book do. Silly, inane, and pointless-feeling, its just hard to take any of these books seriously. They may serve as a distraction for a while, but are completely lacking if you're looking for anything remotely serious. There are many, MANY, better books out there for those looking for a good fantasy. Not recommended.
