Title: Disappointing Entry
Product review: I found this a very disappointing entry in the Tortall series. The early intervention of the gods robs the book of any tension because we already know how it's generally going to come out. Aly herself is a rather flat character; she just walks through the book without much of anything to challenge or endanger her. I also found it very hard to believe that George would teach her spying skills when she was a child--certainly not without Alanna saying something about it. The ending just seemed to ... stop, without any real resolution. If I get the sequel, I'll wait until it comes out in paperback.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
