Natchez Burning turns out to be the first in a new trilogy but not the first time we meet Penn Cage. I found that of the almost 800 pages, I really only enjoyed about half of them. The beginning was engaging and drew me in but for being such a long book, there were way too many loose ends. At this point, I don't see myself continuing the trilogy.
