Review of 'The Chantry Guild' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
Not as enjoyable as I had hoped, but maybe I had a little bit too much nostalgia for some of the other books in the series leftover from my childhood. I remember reading Dorsai! and The Final Encyclopedia multiple times. And I've been trying to rack my brains to remember if I ever read this one before. I felt like I had, but I couldn't remember much of anything as I was reading it currently. All in all it seemed to lack the sweep and scope that I remembered, and the central character of Hal Mayne just seemed like kind of a mope this time out.
