Why do you think that's so? Are people generally not fans of this particular novel?Guardian of Twilight wrote:Huh. That's interesting. Not many say that at all. You're very unique in that regard.
Although this book was a little strange, it still had enough narrative cohesion for me to get through it. I really felt the female healer was a compelling character, and I really liked the book *until* the zombies started attacking at the end. That's what ruined Dance of Death for me, the boat being attacked by zombies.
I think when a writer has a good story going on, he/she shouldn't have to resort to zombies. It just seems like a cop out to me. Its like: you couldn't come up with a more original ending than that? Kind of like in Brave New World when the main character commits suicide at the end of the book . . . it just ticks me off!
If you liked the first one, you definitely should read the sequel. The character matures a lot from the first novel, and having a "worthy" adversary certainly helps! All together, I thought "War Against Azalin" had more action, structure and plot line than the first book, which I loved. Check it out!And...
I was never able to get my hands on a copy of the sequal. Sometimes I forget that I actually have a computer and access to Amazon.
