Book 7: Traitor's Knot - The crappiest near ending in the world. Perhaps. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 18/08/2010 06:43:04 PM
So. Onto the last book before I finally get around to writing a review of the one that isn't a reread for me. It might be a while. I finished them both about a month ago. Woe for life.

So. Thoughts.

- I have decided that Wurts doesn't really know how to write teenagers - or young people in general. Fionn Areth and Jeynsa are the most unrealistic characters to me.
- The bit with the necromancers was pretty much amazing. Had forgotten that. Loved it.
- Dakar is lovely now. Apart from the ending.
- I HATE THE BIT WITH ARITHON AND ELAIRA. Bad writing, bad.

Davien still rocks. The beginning scenes with Arithon and Davien were wonderful. I wish he'd stayed there all book.

That's it for now. I really can't remember much of it. It's all taken up by the bad bit. Alas.

Eh it didn't really capture my interest. Her prose is difficult to read - 25/04/2010 04:29:08 PM 589 Views

See, I like these books, but looking back at it, the first book seems... underdeveloped. - 25/04/2010 08:45:27 PM 632 Views

That seems unlikely, she is American after all... - 25/04/2010 08:56:53 PM 588 Views
Nah, there has been something strange with her US publisher. - 25/04/2010 09:24:28 PM 594 Views
