...I didn't feel any connection to either the characters or their world.I'd like to blame it on the short format, and while shorts are definitely an art not all authors can conquer, Donovan has done so before very nicely.  Thats why this offering disappoints after Dragons Lair, which really had it together as a novella.I like Donovan's style, and she can get to the boiling point faster than an induction stove, but there must also be character and a world a reader cares about to make a soup worth ingesting.  I personally did not take to this particular repast, but that won't stop me from checking out her other works.
