Title: Disappointed!
Review: Ms. Bishop should either find a new editor or else change publishers. Her third novel and, one can only assume the conclusion of the Dark Jewels trilogy, was rushed, choppy, facile and altogether disappointing.Let me be clear: I adored the first book, enjoyed the second, and looked forward to this one for months. Perhaps I set my expectations too high. But the strength of her characters and storyline in the first two seemed to promise a terrific climax. Unfortunately, while there was a whisper of the former glory, the third book has left me feeling cheated. Where is some sort of resolution for the various beloved characters? What the heck kind of ending was that last chapter? How dare Ms. Bishop give her devoted readers such a facile conclusion! I know she could have done far better, and that's what hurts; to imagine what might have been!
