Negative Positive
Title: I wish I had skipped this one.
Review: As a fan of the rest of the series as well as the author's other books, I wish I had skipped this one. It's "beyond the trials of Job" story line is not only depressing but detrimental to the rest of the series. Some characters and story lines are poorly developed and created only for subsequent shock value. New characters are introduced, in the epilogue no less. Major series threads are left unaddressed or disappear completely with only superficial explanation. All that which has defined Dion, made her strong and admirable, and the world she lives in is either ripped away or arbitrarily abandons her. Apparently this is done so that she can pursue some nebulous goal which remains just that - nebulous. It could have been the jewel of the series, instead, Wolf's Bane tarnishes all that has gone before. I can only hope that the author plans to remedy this with a sequel or the series will be irreparably harmed.
Is the review positive or negative?
