Review: Two-Thirds of a good book
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 02 5, 2014
This is a book of 1/3 excellent, 1/3 pretty good, and 1/3 near pornography. The book starts out excellently. It is the third of a 3 book series, which I discovered after reading the book. (I had read the first in the series, Steel Under the Skin, which I thought was excellent.) It is the middle third where the plot line goes into hibernation and we have what appears to be a hiatus meant to titillate the reader with near continual sexual scenes. Although sex plays prominently in the first book it is clearly supported by the plot. Here the sex felt like filler, and a filler that was unnecessary. I was tempted to shut the book permanently on a number of occasions. The ending became predictable by the final 20% of the book, but was acceptable.
