Title: Coasting by on Name Recognition
Review: I have been really disappointed in many of Ms. Lackey's more recent books. Too many of them seem contrived--just "money books" that she knows will sell on the basis of her name. This book is just more of the same. I didn't feel that it was original or fresh or even that well written. I am particularly tired of the excessive use of italics in all of her works. People rarely think or talk in italics. Some of the best books I've ever read are by this author. This just makes her later works all the more disappointing.
