Title: Disappointment
Review: I have read all the previous Mallory books and found this one to be very disappointing. Too much unnecessary (and boring) detail about magic props and equipment and not enough attention to the story itself. At several points, interesting activities were abruptly cut off and there was no follow-up later to tell the reader what happened. This was a very slow-moving, plodding book. Not at all what I have come to expect from this author and definitely not up to the quality and interest of the previous books. It was a struggle to wade through it to the finish.
Is the review positive or negative?
