I'm not very good at writing reviews, so I think the best way for me to explain this is to relate it to the tAF series (all six of them) so then you can decide if you'll like it. :)
I really enjoyed The Ancient Future. I read it sometime after it had first been published and I enjoyed it so much I read all the other books that had released (which was all of them except The Cosmic Logos).
And, I enjoyed all the books up to The Cosmic Logos. Which I didn't really enjoy. I just felt like I was being beaten over the head by religion.
I enjoyed The Gene of Isis because it reminded my of The Ancient Future, so I was looking forward to reading The Dragon Queens. Only I found it a bit of a slog to get through because it spent a lot of time explaining the 'theory' behind the Dragon Queens, the bloodlines and religion.
But, when I got towards the end, I found myself finding it harder and harder to put it down because it was more action and a lot less explaining...
