A review by masn
The Soul Weaver by Carol Berg
2.0
I've read reviews that proclaim this book to be "a speed bump on the way to" the fourth book. I agree. Completely.
The first half was actually fairly interesting and had almost an Alice in Wonderland quality. Gerick once again runs off and finds himself in a completely different world.
The second half is horrid. The pacing is bad, the characters make completely nonsensical choices and experience odd mood changes, the plot is confusing and poorly explained, and the climax is... wait, what climax? That's it? 1000 years fighting the Zhid and the Lords and that's it?
I'll read the last book in the series, if only because the reviews favor it, but I will never pick this book up again (and I'm known for re-reading series and books many many times).
