Title: No Offence but why do we need the Blow-in
Review: It's Ironic that Ronan asked this question. In truth this should have been his story, and He, not Nita, should have been the one to tell it.As it is we get the view from the outside, with a narrator who isn't quite perseptive enough to give us the whole story. And if Nita's place in this story is somewhat periperal then the other young wizards from the previous books are even more so.Kit is the proverbial 3rd wheel, and Dairine is used as nothing more then a convnient power source.I loved the first two books inis series, was disappointed by the third and am sad to say that the story line hasn't recovered in the Fourth. Like its imediat predesor this book feels like the darkness has delibertly been toned down, and frequently omitted, preferring to report the fighting with passages about what Nita remembered rather than dropping us into the thick of it.As a result I just couldn't find anything to get involved with in this story,
