4.0 out of 5 stars A darker tale, February 3, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
4th book in the Jennifer Scales series co-written by husband/wife team Anthony Alongi and Maryjanice Davidson, initially targeted to a YA audience.

Unlike the prior 3 books, this 4th book is somewhat darker and doesn't stick to just following Jennifer Scales, the 15 year-old half-breed dragon/beaststalker who is an ambassador, trying to create peace between the dragons, arachnids and beaststalkers; all who are enemies.

Picking up where the last book ended, the story moves forward, but in small pieces.

It's split up into sections, telling the story from the point of view of a number of different people (dragons, arachnids and beaststalkers) starting with each at the age of 15. It takes us through their perspective of the events taking place in the prior books as well as events that took place before the first book. We learn what events shaped their lives, what and why they've become the people they have. Each person showcased brings us to the present and carries the story forward just slightly beyond where the prior person brought us.

I found it very aggravating to get to the present, experiencing something new, and then beginning all over again with the growth of yet another character. By the time you finish the book, you have a much better perspective of the entire picture, from many different angles - and I can honestly say at that point, I liked the book. If asked while I was in the middle of it, I couldn't have said that.

There is an actual story to this book beyond going back and learning everyone's histories, and the authors do a good job of interweaving people and events together. But because most of the book is missing Jennifer's voice, we also seem to be missing MJD's witty observations and sarcasm that were prevalent in the prior books.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dont start here!, September 24, 2009
By Shades of Gray (Boulder CO) - See all my reviews
I'm not sure what to say on this review other than DONT START reading the Jennifer Scales books at this one. Dear god does her hubby suck as a writer. Too many story lines and too many "typical" sci fi writer threads - alternate universe, alternate kids and alternate plots but don't worry you wont be able to follow them. It hard to follow the characters or keep anyone's story straight. This is the book to give you all the backstory of everyone ever introduced in the Jennifer Scales series and did I mention that they drill into you how important the age 15 is to everyone. I love Mary Janice Davidson's writing style but the whit and dialogue were SO LACKING on this one that I have to say don't bother with the read.

Questions are still unanswered but there are more children from illegitimate matings than colors of M&M's... and half the time they're dating each other....

I simply expect more from her - the hubby may want to go back to teaching.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good addition to the series, March 18, 2009
This is an excellent, well written book that gives the backstories of the main characters in the previous three books of the Jennifer Scales series. It answers questions that I had as to why things happened the way they did in the other books and gives insight into the motivation of the characters. It is strong on character development and complements the rest of the series well. But because it is dependent on the other three books, I would not recommend it to anyone until they have read the first three.
