The Balance of Power

review 1: I had the feeling I should have read a book before this, even though it is called Book One. There were lots of places where they talked about what happened before, and gave you some idea, but not details. This is a fantasy with telepathic dragons and people able to pull energy from the air and comets and spirit travel (though there aren't many of these people. Lots of dragons some good, a lot very evil) There are also demons and black hordes. There was almost always 2 separate story lines and sometimes you spent so long in one story, you forgot what was happening in the other. (Or maybe it's just that I'm getting old and forgetful and was falling asleep)My biggest complaint was that it was 550 pages long and TOTALLY left you hanging. There was an epilogue, that wasn't... more an epilogue at all! It should have been called a "shameless chapter meant to get you to buy the next book because we left you with not even a vague ending place"
review 2: I like this series but I am constantly wondering how Cat is supposed to be the most powerful but is constantly coming up against a super power that thwarts her at every turn. This book is full of fighting....demons, dragons, giants, inner turmoil within the hold, and with each other. I'd like a bit more story line and Cat actually learning about her power instead of just trying things out and finding, hey, I can do that!!! I realize that if it was easy for her there wouldn't be much suspense but I'd like to see her become more of a master by this stage of the game. I thought she would learn something from Dragonhold in those deep caves with the strange, magical aura, but so far nothing! I hope the last book will answer some of the questions from deep in those caves. less
