          <body><![CDATA[This book was ok. As a fan of Roger Zelazny, I think I should note that although the premise of this series is similar to the Chronicles of Amber, the writing is not as clear and engaging. However, I enjoyed the story enough to keep reading the series, and I'll hope that the story evens out as we go...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57484339">more...</a>]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[I love the premise of Obedience, and for the first half of the book, I really enjoyed the story. However, the second half was flat. I lost interest in the majority of the characters, and their quest was tiresome rather than riveting. As a result, I was unwilling to suspend belief when necessary and ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54004305">more...</a>]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[The thing I like about both of Jack Riggs' novels is that they aren't tidy. At the end, we aren't presented with the characters' lives neatly wrapped up, issues resolved, and everything moving forward into the happily ever after. That's not life, and Jack does an excellent job of accurately portrayi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53315213">more...</a>]]></body>
