Title: What was once a unique, creative idea now overdone
Review: This is not her best work for sure, but I find a lot of JAK's work to be all over the place w/ respect to quality. When she first started w/ the Arcane series, I found them intriguing and unique. There was just enough sprinkling of the paranormal to make it almost possible and the characters had, well, character. Now everybody and his/her uncle has a talent, and the talents are getting more and more unbelievable, and the characters are very 2D with just a few moments of humor and realism. I also couldn't buy into the attraction b/w the main characters, who, in typical JAK style, jump into the sack w/in the first few chapters. If you're a die hard fan, save your money and take it out of the library if you must rather than buying it. If you want a good read, save your time too and skip this one.
