Review: Well Maera is now wed to our reluctant hero and renaissance man, Joe. Maera is slightly insufferable because she gets her way in all things and now is considered a savant. Of course, why not have an intellectual power duo that rise above the filthy masses? See while most authors allow for their MC's to flourish under the yoke of stupidity (YA), this author chooses to gift the YA with high intellectual prowess than can only offset the readers suspension of belief. Right? Nah, it fails in many aspects yet the visceral truth is that there is no depth built into them. A cry here, a cry there and "duty before all" does not a character make.
The naming conventions are even worse this time around (Molosia-say it real slow. Mmmmooolosiaaaah) and the military conversations amongst the Narthanians is thankfully short-er-ish. Maera and a few others need to be tossed off a cliff in order to set a solid story line in motion. What I liked in this installment is that it flowed much better than the first.
