Title: Getting there...
Product review: This book is a bit of a strange bird. I feel a little bit like the author was trying to correct her shortcomings on the first book in the series (Magic's Pawn)--and was in fact successful--but that she all but abandoned the reason I picked up the series in the first place: the gay protagonist. Yes, he's still gay, but he's totally celibate, and spends a fair amount of time wondering if he might, in fact, be straight.That said, the plot of this book is 100 times better than the plot of Magic's Pawn. It is believable (mostly), compelling, and the conflicts and villains don't just appear out of nowhere with no motivation whatsoever. In addition, there is fantastic character development, better than the first book, and many new and lovable characters with real dilemmas.Overall, I had to rate this book higher than Magic's Pawn, because there's no question in my mind it's a better book. If you got this far, DEFINITELY read on to Magic's Price, because it's the best of the three.
