Stick to her Swords and Songs series
I remember liking Elaine Cunningham when I read her novels as a teenager, but many years later I picked up this series and did not enjoy it. While all the characters and events came together in this novel, I found that I wasn’t attached to any of them and wasn’t invested in the final outcome of the story. There were times when the I found the prose to be awkward. For example, when one character sees another after a going through a harrowing event and realizes how important she is to him, he compared her to a reliable horse, using the word “creature.” The whole conversation sounded ridiculous.
The ending was predicable and disappointing; it was too much of a “happily ever after,” for me to take any enjoyment from it. I was dissatisfied with the series and will not be reading another Elaine Cunningham book.
There were a couple of bright spots in the book, but nowhere near enough to make it interesting.
The narrator, Kevin Kraft, was also just okay. He had limited range and his female voices could use some improvement.
