Negative Positive
Title: Rich Characters
Review: I've read the other reviews posted in regard to missing the plot. The characters are the plot, the interactions between the characters are the plot, and the way they are starting to look upon Merry as a leader, not just an object to get beyond their years of celibacy is an important plot point. Plot doesn't always have to be A + B = C. If it was we'd be bored, as people and as readers.If you don't like racy sex scenes don't read this book. If you love the way LKH writes characters then read this book. It is by no means a piece of literary perfection, it is however perfection for those readers who truly enjoy the characters she's created.LKH is not a standard author so I think it's important to hold her up to her own standards because she delivered when she wrote this book, the characters are growing, and the relationships are improving, and life at the Sithen is getting more and more interesting.
Is the review positive or negative?
