Title: A grave disappointment
Product review: I have passionatly loved every book in this series and in the junior companion series until I read this one. Why?First because this book changes the tone of the series and has zero joy anywhere inside it.Second because it's ending cheaply nullifies the journey of the heroine to pull the author out of the paradox he put himself into in the second (vastly superior) novel. Duncan is a masterful writer and after the first two novels he set expectations for this book very high.But mainly it is because the heroine is such a useless tool and you have to live with her for 300 pages! You have to try and evoke some sort of compassion for your main character, but in this book he failed miserably.His next book in this series, Paragon Lost, is due out in October 2002. I hope it will erase this book from my mind and recapture the glory of the first two novels as well as the delight you find in the King's Daggers companion novels.
