Book 5: Grand Conspiracy (Book 2 of the Alliance of the Light). Little thoughts. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 24/06/2010 07:56:36 PM
- Am astounded at the breadth of Wurts' plotting - and that revealed by her characters.
- Lysaer is becoming Mr Devious. Totally huge pity it's not completely working out for him. ;)
- Kevor is a great character.
- Ellaine really annoyed me at first, but her character development was great.
- Dame Dawr = love, love, love.
- Mearne's plot was a little too obvious. I suppose not everyone can be Arithon, or, in fact, Morriel.
- Poor Asandir. :(
- Davien is well cool. Although I tire a little of the constant references made to Sethvir's attempts to contact him. Looking forward to more Davien in the next book.
- Only just noticed that Wurts likes to remind everyone of things that happened in the past - Tal Quorin, Vastmark, etc - and that gets a little annoying.
- Had forgotten the details of Morriel's scheme. That was rather neat.
- That old lady in Jaelot was lovely and heartbreaking.
- Fionn Areth is pretty slow on the uptake. "I'm wearing the face of the Spinner of Darkness but I'm going to join the Alliance anyway. They won't mind!" Silly boy.

Eh it didn't really capture my interest. Her prose is difficult to read - 25/04/2010 04:29:08 PM 564 Views
My brother found that initially but soon got used to it. - 25/04/2010 04:30:13 PM 597 Views

See, I like these books, but looking back at it, the first book seems... underdeveloped. - 25/04/2010 08:45:27 PM 608 Views
Fair enough. - 25/04/2010 08:48:53 PM 656 Views

Probably something like that. - 25/04/2010 08:38:42 PM 607 Views
That seems unlikely, she is American after all... - 25/04/2010 08:56:53 PM 566 Views
Nah, there has been something strange with her US publisher. - 25/04/2010 09:24:28 PM 571 Views
Ah, makes sense then. - 25/04/2010 09:34:27 PM 659 Views

Also: is it just me, or is Wurts really rubbish at writing about sex? - 24/06/2010 08:03:46 PM 585 Views
