Title: Contrived-Not even embers
Product review: I absolutely loved the first of this trilogy. It had everything going for it. But by this book, well, where was the editor.I guess it started going downhill in the second book when instead of a real villian and real human emotions like fury and despair being the catalyst, Roberts went toward this undefined evil. It gets to the point in Face the Fire, where the book is basically a show-off for her knowledge of Wiccan speak. Zack Todd is now indistinguishable from some of her other heroes (Aidan in Jewels of the Sun comes to mind) and Ripley is also just a shadow of her former self-Booke has been reduced to a one-dimensional Ghost Buster. She keeps bring things out of left field just to make things work without ever having shown them before.The ending is muddy, rushed and not quite followable. I'm sure this book will sell, simply because it is the third-but I'm not going to be rushing out for the next trilogy.
