Though this was a good action tale, I don't think it followed the background story well.

The Annja Creed of this installment of the series displayed a very different personality than in any of the previous novels. She seemed more aggressive, and short-tempered. Where was the healing power and energy associated with her possessing the sword? And there were things that went on that were in direct conflict with her Destiny, and the spirit that still, supposedly, resides in a corner of her mind.

Also, there were a few passages where the author tended to belabor a point, or ramble on a little more than seemed necessary, as if trying to fill white space with useless fluff.

Were this not supposed to be another installment in a series, I don't think I would have been as critical. But some consistency is required if the main character is to live on.

I believe this should be retitled, "Annja Through The Looking Glass."
