Title: These particular sharpies run out of ink way too fast Product review: These particular sharpies (in this particular single-color 12-sharpie configuration) run out of ink way faster than normal sharpies (which also run out of ink way too fast). Very disappointing. Source: Graduate student who highlights textbooks every day. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Title: Loved it when it worked Product review: Had the drive for about 2 years, then it won't write anymore. Reads fine, but it won't create a disk. Run the diagnostics - no clue what the issue is. On a side note, this drive was pretty loud. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Title: The plot is getting thin. Product review: Yarbro has developed quite a bit as a writer over the course of the Sanct Germain series. Her characters have more depth, and her sense of place is terrific. Her historical research is impeccable. However, she needs to come up with some different plot lines for the series because the novels have become predictable. The plots all seem to follow the same basic line: Sanct Germain is either already living someplace as a somewhat tolerated/accepted "outsider" or arrives and becomes a somewhat tolerated/accepted, he becomes involved with a local woman, he runs afoul of the local political hierarchy, he has to escape to somewhere else--sometimes twice in the course of the same novel. As much as I was intrigued by the picture of Iberia and its history that Yarbro presented, I put this book down before I finished a third of it because the story itself lacked something fresh about the characters or their interactions.
