De komst van de schaduw


Just when I started to like the series more with the previous book, this one fell down a little bit. All main characters hide their inner truth, afraid to share. The female characters have power, but are still drawn with a very male eye. And that in over 1000 pages (and still 10 books to go!)... I have book 5 ready, as fantasy is a good escape when the real world isn't that bright, but I had hoped I would like it better.

Planning to read this one in January, but Anita's comments do not leave me hopeful about continuing on after this one. We'll see.

>5 rretzler: I took a break from the series, I might continue later this year.
