Negative Positive
Title: Better than the original.
Review: This book is a sequel to the original series book #30, "Demons". I hadn't realized that fact until I read some of the other reviews here, and was prepared to blast Dillard for simply filing off the serial numbers and putting the same plot into a Next Generation novel as had been used in an earlier book; I can only plead in my own defense that it's been a LONG time since I read that book. This book is much better-written than that one, though; I suppose that Dillard matured some as a writer in the intervening years.It would have been nice if that continuity had been more specifically referenced, although in retrospect I can see that it was hinted at. Also, I am dubious at a concept that I'm unwilling to discuss here because it would be an unnecessary plot spoiler. But this was close to a five-star effort. Definitely a fine story.
Is the review positive or negative?
