Reviews of "The Quest"...[Spoilers]
Posted: Sun Apr 01, 2007 1:38 am
And here is my opinion...
For me, this book was one big disappointment. I disliked alot about it - the storyline is just so boring. There are several mistakes in reference to facts from the previous books (like where Taita is trying to work out how old Nefer is... he remembers that he was 12 when Tamose died... but he was in fact 14). I never felt I was enthralled by the world Smith was presenting (a first for me) and I really disliked the way some characters, like Mintaka and Nefer, have been written. Even Taita, with all his new power, is just so devoid of any real "magic."
Maybe I expected too much, maybe nothing could ever compare to RG and Warlock, but either way, The Quest was, sadly, a waste of $30. I'm so peeved with the result I've put the book on eBay.
