Title: Disappointing
Review: I loved _The Longing Ring_ and also loved Kubasik's Earth Dawn short story _Before Life Ends_ but this was different. The use of the 1st person narration made for too much introspection, especially as the relationship between Releanna and J'role was the biggest part of the plot. The Therans being a mix of all different races didn't seem very realistic and there was only one hint of a horror in the entire story (and they are probably the coolest thing about Earth Dawn). The Crystal Raiders were great, but other than that I didn't find much to like about the story.
