Title: A terrible disappointment after so long a wait
Review: I have read most of the reviews and agree with most of them that it was a literary disaster.It's difficult to believe that after a twelve year hiatus this was the result. The book is boring ,repeating the saga of the previous books seemingly without end. Much of the story is concerned with repetitive long introductions which do nothing to advance a story line which never develops. Let's finish with the medicinal value of the herbs,the wild animals as pets,the rocks and topography and the startling new weapons. We have been through that in our previous journey with the perfect couple. What I waited for was Ayala's encounter with the clan and her son Durc ; and not an entire story only devoted to family introductions and a summer picnic.It appears the author is losing her focus.
Is the review positive or negative?
