The L.A. Banks story is well written enough to make the entire book worth ordering, all on its own...and DESPITE the typically silly writing by the other authors. The characters are believable, interesting, and complex - neither totally good, nor totally evil, and the ending isn't the storybook happy one we often expect. This was good enough writing to make me put other books by this author on my wish list.

However, Kenyon's story of an Arcadian panther was exceptionally insipid...even more so than some of the author's other more readable, but typically poorly executed tripe. And, hey, I even like a couple of her books - but I have no illusions about her being a "great writer" - but THIS story is just painfully bad...my eyes still haven't recovered from all the rolling heavenward. Ugh.
