Book 7: Traitor's Knot - The crappiest near ending in the world. Perhaps.

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.

See, I like these books, but looking back at it, the first book seems... underdeveloped.

That seems unlikely, she is American after all...

It is possible for an American not to sell well in her own country.

I bought that a couple of weeks ago, hence the reread. I hope it's better than Traitor's Knot *NM*

Also: is it just me, or is Wurts really rubbish at writing about sex?
