3.0 out of 5 stars
Great plot, poor characters., June 24, 2005
This review is from: The Ogre's Pact: The Twilight Giants, Book I (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved the overall plot of this book, but felt that the flimsy characters dragged the book down. I spent the entire story trying to figure out the "mystery" and that is what drove me to finish it. I was moderately rewarded at the end of the novel with the typical "there'll be a sequel" ending.
The characters are what killed this book. Brianna, the "damsel in distress" was rude, abrasive and spoiled to the point of being irrational. I didn't want to see her saved at all.
Tavis, the main character, irked me because he was doing everything he could to save a character who wasn't worth saving.
The verbal and emotional interaction between characters was forced and stilted at best. Dialogue was campy when the characters were discussing feelings and thoughts.
Overall, I won't be picking up the second of the series.
