Moving on to Wes Chu's The Rebirths of Tao after finishing The Deaths of Tao--which succeeded in raising the bar from the first book (already quite fun/good).
A word of warning to those who may read these:
I purchased all three of these books as epubs from Kobo (exported epubs; NOT kepubs) and this third book had a formatting issue that forced me to abandon it in favor of the Kindle version. I'm not one to be overly fussy about ebook formatting (I quietly fix the rare problems that interrupt me if possible), but this one was impossible for me to overlook (or easily fix).
There's internalized dialogue that relied on italics in the first two books that makes it very easy and intuitive for the reader keep straight "who's talking." Those italics were missing from the third Kobo epub and made it nearly impossible for me to follow the conversations and/or flow of the narrative (and there was no easy css fix to correct it). The Kindle edition didn't suffer from the same problem.
So if you make it to book three, make sure you check out a sample before purchasing if at all possible.
