Review title: Unworthy attempt at historical validation of fantasy.
Product review: After "The Witching Hour" those that hunger to know the fate of Michael and his abducted-seducted wife will find that the wonderful, brooding sensual quality of that novel is not to be found in this half-hearted tale centered upon Lasher's rebirth as a physical being.This is merely a dry effort, spent perhaps for the contract terms Rice may suffer under, but that is not an excuse for a work which has no real depth, no terror, no eroticism, and only minimal character development.Through even the Sleeping Beauty series, Rice was able to sustain something of the "weaver of tales" I have come to expect of her works. Unfortunately, the tapestry she normally weaves seems to have unravelled this time.
