4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, just a middle book, April 12, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Warrior Within (Devan Chronicles) (Paperback)

It was okay. I think the first one was best. sometime when I read fantasy I can't see whats happening in my head. I saw this one like watching tv. This book is the middle book in the set. They never as good as the first one. When more come out, I will get my brother to buy them for me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Frustrating in places, April 11, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Warrior Within (Devan Chronicles) (Paperback)

I found this book a little frustrating. Just as you begin to get into it, the author changes point of view to another character and you have to begin over. I would have preferred it if he had stuck with Julia or Keverin. Shelim's story is kind of interesting too. Overall it was okay, but as other reviewers have pointed out, the author did a much better job with book one.

This review is from: The Warrior Within (Devan Chronicles) (Paperback)

Having read the first two books in this series, I hung in there hoping things might get better---they didn't. The writing is so poor I found myself wondering how this book got published in the first place.

Basically, I found the plot contrived and unbelievable. The dialogue and imagery were equally as bed. It may be time for Mr. Cooper to consider looking for another career.
