Negative Positive
Title: Dreadful
Review: I have read and enjoyed many of Mercedes Lackey's books. I am not so familiar with Ellen Guon's work.Bedlam's Bard was not an example of good writing, something of which I know Mercedes Lackey is capable. I nearly stopped reading it in the middle, something I rarely do.It is disjointed. It is redundant. It over-explains. The relationships between characters range from unhealthy to downright creepy even when you can tell the authors mean them to be positive. There is a surplus of reversed-in-the-nick-of-time near death experiences. It lacks depth and cohesion overall.The idea behind the story could be clever, but the application is very poor.If you wish to read books by these authors, I would choose something else. And I WOULD try something else by either writer before deciding all of their works are this poor.
Is the review positive or negative?
