Title: Cliche Fantasy with Clunky Pacing and Low Creative Level
Review: Kim Harrison and Dawn Cook may be the same person, but the writing is worlds apart. I tracked this novel down after being totally wowed by the nine books in this author's urban fantasy series, which starts withDead Witch Walking (The Hollows, Book 1). "First Truth" is a cliche fantasy coming of age story with temperamental and immature characters, tons of useless scenes, a random pet kestrel named 'Talon' (yeah, expect this creative level), and an extremely slow plot with little resolution. I do not recommend this novel if you expect Cook/Harrison to be as good in her early works... you will be disappointed.
