Review: Still Not Up To Expectations

Caveat: I picked this up on a free promo. Glad I did because I would have been really disappointed to have paid $2.99 for it. Of course, value is a relative thing, but given the quality of some of the other books I've picked up for a similar price...This is my second sampling of Blackford's work, and it suffers from many of the same faults as the last one: thin characters, weak plot, less than stellar writing. And like the last one, it uses a minor (and extremely undeveloped) character to save the day rather than the hero / protagonist. Too much of the unbelievable to allow me to suspend my disbelief. Once again I have to wonder about all the 4- and 5-star reviews. Maybe my expectations are just too high.
