Review: THE FRESHNESS HAS WORN OFF
Rating: 4 out of 5

I really am a huge fan of the Brides of the Kindred series, however, there comes a time when one has to say, "Okay. Enough now. The stories are becoming stale. The novelty has obviously worn off."Evangeline Anderson is brilliant, don't get me wrong, but even HER imagination can only stretch so far, as far as new material goes.Although number 11 was a tad better than number 10, I still found a lot of repeat phrases and thoughts throughout. That's okay for readers who have quite a bit of time on their hands, but for those who can't afford the luxury of time, it's annoying. When a novel is written in 400+ pages but could have been easily written in 300 or less, it's wasteful.I know there are more Brides of the Kindred books in the pipeline, and I know I'll read them all, but it's taking longer to read each one because these last few didn't hold my attention like the first few did. I'm hoping there are some nice little surprises in number 12 and that perhaps the earth girls are going to be written up as much less pathetic.I still wish to be claimed though.
