Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I genuinely enjoyed this chapter in The Land. I missed the characters. I would have liked it if it were twice as long, or three times, or possibly ten, but that's the nature of the novels. Each is more like an episode in a series, and all of them have taken that narrative form. Eight was a branching point. It closed out book 7 and it opened doorways into book 9. It's clear from the book and from the epilogue that books nine and on will be game-changers for the Mist Village. There's also a lot of new content in 8 that I enjoyed. I really liked the start. I really liked the tension in chapters 22-35, and I really liked the close, 40-44. Aleron does battles really well, as we saw in 7, and we saw in the open and throughout this book. I'm genuinely looking forward to book 9.
