Ellen (gremlin) - reviewed on 1/2/2009

Helpful Score: 5

While I was interested up through about chapter 9, after that I found it fairly boring. There was a lot of time spent in flashbacks of the history of various characters and not a whole lot happening in the present. It felt a bit like the first of a series with all the setup of the world and the characters, but this was first published in 1999 and there's no sequel at this time.

Added: I wrote the above 1/2/2009, and in 2009 the sequel was published, with another to come in 2010. So maybe it'd be worth reading after all, if the later books are any better. I just didn't find this interesting enough to bother getting the next book. I also gave up on the Noble Dead series after book 6, in case that helps you decide if we might like the same things.
