Negative Positive
Title: I love the series as a whole, but this book was AWFUL.
Review: I do love the Mallory series as a whole, and I've read enough mystery series to know that no author can be good every time.But reading this novel was an exercise in dragging my eyes almost against their will across some of the most boring dialogue I have ever had to misfortune to witness.Holy cow...over and over and over these long long looooooong dialogues between these old magicians...WTF? I could seldom figure out what the heck they were even discussing. What was the point??And the descriptions of the magical equipment and set-ups...AUGH!!!Methinks O'Connell loves magic and wanted to work her interest/hobby into a book. But sweet jayzuz, please, don't ever do this to us again.I only kept reading in case there was something crucial to the later plots.And I missed Charles. More Charles! More cowbell, and much more Charles!!!
