Title: Disappointing
Review: I loved Blackwood Farm, but having now read the sequel, Blood Canticle, I find it disappointing. The story is loose, slow, unfocused. It feels like Rice has tried to tie up loose ends without being able to create a coherent story. At times, she seems to please herself with rantings that give the novel little direction. Read it if you must, but don't expect too much of this one.
