Some of the books were VERY repetitious - I think she had sections in "save" and just copied and pasted.

Overall, I did enjoy most of them a lot.

The last one is even worse than the others. It's like the lady ran out of steam or something. It certainly lacks emotional involvement from the author's point of view and the way some of the action is describes REALLY forced me to suspend all believability.

I'm going to get the ebook this weekend. I have loved this series since she came out with her first book. I only wish the authors could write as fast as I can read their books.

I'm half way through the new book and, as much as I don't want to have to agree with you, I do...it's very repititious and I'm a little disappointed so far. But I will keep reading and finish it, hoping something better happens. I keep hoping they'll meet up with some Clan to make it more interesting...but don't tell me if they do or not...lol.

I think the first two books were the best of the series, especially the first. But I couldn't not read them all because I loved the first one so much..lol.
