moving on with Book 4 of the saga of Magiere, Leesil, Chap the Fay and more recently Wynn the scholar, shadowed by Welstiel and Chane.
This book kinda plodded along ... and I could have sworn there was an instance of "cut & paste": when we first found out hoe Welstiel fed in Book 3, we had a few passages describing it all... and I swear it seemed to be almost exactly the same in Book 4...
... I also found myself just skimming instead of reading... having to force myself to p...more

Leesil is haunted by the acts he committed under the orders of his former master, to such a point where he drinks himself drunk as to not have nightmares about it. He wants the guilt and the nightmares to end, so he decides, with the help of Magerie, Wynn, and Chap to discover what became of his parents after he ran away from home.
I enjoyed this book as much as I did the others in the series. The scenary is wonderfully desribed and the characters are quite believeable with their own motives...more

This book was a little slow for me. I think at some parts it got a little too dramatic for me with all the darkness of the Magiere and Leesil's past. I felt like the lightheartedness and fun aspect of the series was lost in this book. At the end it picked up and I enjoyed reading the last 100 pages but until then, it took me awhile to get into it. The story here is all about Leesil's past and origins. It was interesting to see but I missed the fun Leesil...I still liked it all right but a little...more

This book took a little bit to really get off and moving. I think once I reached half way though things really got interesting and I quickly finished the book. There were a few times I was a little frustrated with a seemingly repeated theme but they were rather small/rare now that I look back and really didn't detract from the book too much.
Of course the story is left WIDE open for the next book in the series.

This is the fourth book in a vampire series that I'm currently reading. The first is called Dhampir. They are a mix between Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Lord of the Rings. I really like them because the story keeps you going to where you can't put the book down. If you like a good vampire book, this is where its at!

if I remember correctly, this is where it got kind of annoying with all the self reflections and self loathing. I wonder if the authors were going through some tough times, or wanted to experience them through these characters. made the story a bit harder to read and not very uplifting.

Fantasy/horror fans
This is one of those books with lots of information, and character development, but little action until the end. It was an interesting read, but the motion that compelled me to move forward lessened with this book. Hopefully the next will pick it up again.

I've given up on this book for now. It's the type of story I'd normally enjoy but I just can't get into and and I'm having trouble following what is going on. It may be that this book is fourth in a series or maybe it's just not fitting my current mood.

Fourth book in the Noble Dead series. The focus of the plot shifts to Leesil and his dark past, away from Magiere's more interesting story. And Chap loses much of his former charm.
Still, this one was good, with a fitting climax.
