Negative Positive
Title: OK, mid-level fantasy
Review: This was not worth the wait. I say that even though I enjoyed most of the other books in the Crown of Stars series, but this one is harder to like for some reason. I think Ms. Elliot is a fine author, but a weak and inconsistent one, not up with the likes of the big name female fantasists like Melanie Rawn, Elizabeth Hayden and Robin Hobb.Having said that, however, it was nice to see something in the series out again, especially since Melanie Rawn seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. And this book has already been spammed by the Robert Stanek [or as my friends and I refer to him, Robert Stank] e-publicity machine, which means they think it is a good enough book to ride the coattails of.It's not that bad, respectable for middle of the road stuff. I am still waiting for the Golden Key books.
Is the review positive or negative?
