review 1: Kelly McCullough is nothing if consistent. All his books are consistently of great quality, and the plot always chugs along nicely. Don't expect massive intricate plots like that of epic fantasy; McCullough recognizes his strength in focusing on narrower, but very well done and satisfactory plots. He also knows exactly when to end his novels. The ending in this is extremely well done, neatly tying off of the plot of the book with an action packed final act and mystery filled final twist, as well as giving us a cliffhanger that keeps us on the edge of our seats for the next novel.
review 2: Fun, light, interesting, just like all the previous books in the series. Still, I keep feeling like there is a glimmer of an overriding plot, somewhere far in the distance, ... morebut I just can't see it clearly yet. This book actually moved a little bit further away from an overriding plot, it seems, than the last one. I think this series has potential, but I just don't see a coherent thread that can tie these books all into a solid story. I really wish there was an endgame in sight, some hint of a story arc, but I'm beginning to think there might not be. If you like books that all tie together into a series, that have a strong story arc throughout the books, then maybe this series isn't for you. I've said it before, I think this is just "adventures in the life of Aral" kind of series, which is fine I guess, but not what I really look for.Still, as what it is, it was fun and fast paced. Nice plot twists and the climactic battle at the end was satisfying. The antagonist is sufficiently bad, though her motivations are kind of flat and naive, but I guess that's just who she is. less
