Meh. I don't expect much from Ms. Lackey anymore since she's become so preachy. And what's the point of reading about characters that already know what to do and how to be? Where are the mistakes and the growth? Maybe that's why it took me 5 days to read a book that in the past would have taken me 1 or 2, because it was so dull.
And lastly why does Mags get 6 (and I'm assuming more) books about him? What about Talia or Kerowyn? They were much more interesting characters and I could understand what they were saying! Mags' dialect is so awful to read at times I get disgusted.
That being said, I do keep reading Misty's books. Is it nostalgia? Trying to recapture a bit of my childhood? I don't know and I'm so happy with my local library where I can check out her books instead of purchasing the expensive hardcovers!
