Negative Positive
Title: well written, but bizarre intertwining with tv episode
Review: I do not know who (jms or the author) is responsible for the decision for books 2 and 3 of this series to closely interweave and usually re-write the significance of events in the tv series (in this book the season 2 ep. geometry of shadows is the main one), but I think a very good story from this theme could have been written without. so now the events in Geometry of Shadows have completely different meaning, including Sheridan knowing about the false departure tactic and aiding it, londo's apology being a trick from morden, and most annoyingly the fact sheridan saw the departure vessel explode, something WE didn't see.I don't know why this sort of tactic for writing this story is used. 4 stars for quality of writing, negative 2 stars for the episode tie-in tactic. I posted a similar note on novel 3 in this series.
Is the review positive or negative?
