### Post:

I just tried to upload today's chapter and I'm getting a 503 "No server is available to handle this request" error.  I'll try again periodically through the day, but no promises when it will be available.

>> Thank you so much!  I really appreciate it.
>> 
>> What's your opinion on Book 2 vs Book 1?  They are extremely different and Book 2 is a bit of an experiment for me, so I'm curious what the audience feels about it.

>>> 
>>> I'm worried about Suze.  I wasn't so worried about Jake, because as dire as things seemed, I thought he could make it through.  Suze, while she is (or at least was) a wonderful person, I'm not sure she's got what it takes to be Death.
>>> 
>>> Given the previous mentorship role, I'm a little surprised Suze hasn't asked Jake for help.  But I guess part of it is that this is her show, not his now.

>>> **u/None** [+3]  (13 hours later)
>>> 
>>> I found book one intriguing with the munchkinry problem solving. Honestly book two has failed to connect with me so far, and if not for book one I would not have continued reading. To me book one read like an action adventure and book two is more of a character drama, and that just isn't as much my cup of tea. Your writing is excellent in both though.

>>>> If you liked the first book, "[One Hot Night](http://greendogpress.blogspot.com/2014/05/greendog-press-is-open-for-business-our.html)" is likely to be up your alley. </shameless_plug>

>>> **u/luminarium** [+1]  (3 days later)
>>> 
>>> I'd stopped at the end of book 1, reasoning that it could only go downhill from there (I mean, how can you up a singularity?). Of course, after having done the meteor stunt, antimatter, and all the other infinity exploits, you didn't really have any other way to climax the story.
>>> 
>>> As a hint, you may want to tone down your book-2 disclaimer (where you say it'll be radically different), that's what made me say , "the end!". 
>>> 
>>> Of course, I may continue reading it going forward.
