I have a buddy who loves all things Ghosts of Albion, but hated the first book of Death's Daughter.<br /><br />The second book is much better and I liked the characters a lot more.<br /><br />Rachel: I thought Rachel was an airhead at first, making stupid mistakes because she refused to plan. She is still doing "dumb" things, but if she were dumb she would have been dead a long time ago. Compare this to Elena Michaels/Danvers from KElley Armstrong's books who I liked from the start (and I didn't like Clay till about 7 books in! Now I think he is great).<br /><br />Both characters have grown on me now, despite of or maybe even because of their faults. Rachel and Callie would rather have normal lives I think, but they would get board with that and start poking a dangerous demon with a stick.Timothy S.

I just couldn't get into it. Maybe I'll try again based on your statement that the second is much better.<br /><br />I find it interesting you had difficultly getting into both Calliope and Rachel Morgan. Clearly I agree with the first, but I was sold on Rachel in about three pages.Pulp Herbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486803457210325703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-66907262822113534212010-04-07T23:28:09.608-05:002010-04-07T23:28:09.608-05:00A very insightful review.

She's been building a very engaging story, and I can't wait to see where she brings it to with the third book.Shiaihttp://www.slayerlit.usnoreply@blogger.com
