Review: Introduction to the series
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 4, 2013
I've enjoyed all of Ms. Neggers' books that I've read, and this is no different. I emphasize that this is clearly a short introduction to the series, and a bit of history for one character. I haven't read any of the other books in this series, but I have to believe that the main character in this story, Father Finian Bracken, is an on-going character who is important but not one of the main characters, since the series is, after all, called Sharpe and Donovan. (We met Donovan in this introduction.) I liked Father Bracken - I liked all the characters I met in this story, and they felt like real people; that isn't easy to do in a short story. But I repeat: this was an introduction. If you're looking for a mystery, a romance, or anything with a hook and a solution, skip the introduction and dive into the series - otherwise you will probably be disappointed - and perhaps return after you've read the stories out there and want to know a bit more about the priest and where he came from.
