None of those things bothered me. To begin with, brave authors take plots and characters to unpredictable and sometimes undesirable places and I think they’re allowed to do that, applaud it, in fact. There are others new to the series who were irritated that this book didn’t stand-alone they felt cheated that an expensive hardcover wasn’t readable on its own. There have been some people decrying the fact that one of the main characters is killed off in this book they felt cheated that an expensive hardcover rattled their Rachel-world. This book was released in hardcover (the author’s HC debut) 20 Mar 07 and in mass-market paperback 27 Nov 07. The reader just has to know what happens next. And that is what makes these such page-turners, despite the flaws. It rolls unpredictably, jarringly, inexorably along. That’s the one thing I really like about these books – the plot moves. Despite this, Harrison manages to work the characters thru these moments and the plot actually ends up moving along because of them, not in spite of them. There are many TSTL moments in a Rachel Morgan book. I care about the characters, enjoy the action and predicaments, but I want to throw the book at the wall regularly when a character (usually Rachel) does something stupid. My relationship with the Rachel Morgan books is complicated.
