A disappointment - Rated
I love Misty's writing and have really enjoyed this series, however this book just doesn't quite fit. To me it seemed like she had a number of loose ends left over from the previous books and felt that she better tie them up.
This book starts with what you would expect, the rebuilding and reforming of the nations of Alta and Tia, as well as the Jousters and Priests out in Sanctuary and yes the Jousters decide to move to the cliff city which they call Aerie and of course Kiron (once know as Vetch)is the leader of this new city, ok so far so good. This is when things take a turn for the worst, for us readers that is.
A border village disappears and suddenly there is a whole new country, that we never knew existed but apparently was there and an ancient enemy all along and, wouldn't you know, THAT was where all those wizards/former sea witches came from? This totally changed what we had been lead to believe in the previous 3 books. Now I wouldn't have minded this break in continuity, except the tie-in was poor, the character dialogue wooden and unrealistic, and we really learn nothing important to add to our understanding of this great world and its characters.
I was heart-broken!!!
I wanted to throw the book away or across the room, anything. I kept on reading, hoping it would get better. It didn't. Favourite major characters from the previous books had bit parts, and there was no development of the characters at all. In fact I think the best thing we can all do is forget this book ever happened and get Misty to write the book we ALL know she can and should have written.
