Negative Positive
Title: Absolutely Predictable
Review: from the start to the finish, I read, earnestly hoping that the book wouldn't turn out the way it seemed destined to. I was disappointed by the bland turns of plot blatantly spelled out chapters before any real action happened. The only thing I was surprised about was Mrs. Rice's lack of integrity in dealing with the character of Rowan Mayfair. Throughout the book, she kept it alive in spite of the bland world she was moving through, then at the end, betrayed everything it seemed she was and had been fighting for. Perhaps I just didn't get it, but it seems the whole series could have ended at book one quite plausibly. Dragging through another novel, simply to see if Mrs. Rice had enough sense to allow Rowan the completion she should have had in book one, is too masochistic for my tastes, I don't care if I'm missing out, count me out.
Is the review positive or negative?
