Review: Changed Mythos
Rating: 2 out of 5

This one was better than First Contact. It concentrated more on story than on just fighting. I have a gripe about Tesh-Dar. In this prequel series, we keep getting "told" how mighty Tesh-Dar is. I got tired of the repetition quickly. Fine, the author wants to change his mythos in these prequels. I guess that is his prerogative, but it just feels wrong if the reader still remembers the other three books. It undoes the logic and therefore the suspension of disbelief. Tesh-Dar can walk through walls, send herself through space, but can't get out from under a cave-in???? Even taking into account that she was 100 years older, in the first three books, it just doesn't feel like it makes sense anymore. I'm going to finish this series (I bought them), but I really feel like this is not a prequel series worthy of the first three books. I really wish that this prequel series had just been about Tesh-Dar's life. What brought her to the point of not killing Reza when she first found him?
