Title: This book is the height of mediocrity
Review: It's like Jean Rabe rolled some dice, DM'ed a game, and turned it into a novel.I cannot communicate how incredibly sucky this book is. I had the misfortune to read it way back in 1995 or so when it came out. I was quite the AD&D; fanatic back then, but this book was still crappy. What can I say -- the writing was wooden, the characters were lifted out of the Players Handbook --- need I go on?I agree with the other reviews, Red Magic was like the 4th or 5th book in the Harper series, so some excuses may be made. But Elfshadow was a GOOD book. Well worth reading. I'm amazed that, ten years after I had the misfortune of reading Red Magic, Jean Rabe has chalked up a whole lot of books since then. I only hope her writing has improved in the interim.
Is the review positive or negative?
