Title: ...Not my cup o' Chava...
Review: I have to say this outright...this is probably my least favorite Lackey book of all time. the execution is sloppy, the plot is migraine-calibre illogical and most of the characters, especially Lackey's trademark, evil-for-the-sake-of-evil villains, have all the verisimilitude of a B-grade movie. a note to some who want to blame my displeasure on ...ahem, Other Things: I am not a homophobe. I had no problem with Vanyel and Tylendel being gay. their relationship just sort of seemed contrived...like one more burden to throw at our hero, one more thing to make Vanyel more alienated and misunderstood. or, the barely phesable logic in causing the sequence of events which leave him with a nauseatingly grand magical arsenal. The misunderstood adolescent plot is getting wearing after the "Arrows" series and (my fault, I will admit) every other SF book I've read in the past year.
