I like the books Mercedes lackey writes, she is good at creating a believable world and people to populate it. This series starts off very strong though I do feel that it falls off a bit as it progresses. It is truly readable and enjoyable.Ended on an almost cliffhanger, but a good place to stop in a trilogy.
This book is the second of the Jousters series. The concept of these books is very interesting but I feel like the author isn't able to make it as good as it could be.For starters, the writing is very repetitive. I found it was the same in the first book and the beginning of this one wasn't as bad. After the first 100 pages or so though, it just seemed like the story stopped and it was just details after details, things that had been repeated so many times before. This book to me felt like a
I did not enjoy the pacing in both of these books; although I do love when authors go into deep explanations and details about their world I loathe how it drags on and on in her books.Perhaps that might change later in the series, but for now I will cope with the bothersome text.
Brilliant...
So far I'm finding this series peculiar in that the story progresses without a whole lot actually happening. In this book there if far more political chess going on, although the action did pick up in the last handful of chapters, which was a nice change from the lazy-river pacing of the majority of the book. I am enjoying the characters, although I feel that Kiron (and the others, really) istoo perfect. Too well prepared for everything, everyone works too well with each other at all times with
Magic, intrigue and more dragons! Loved it.
