2.0 out of 5 stars
Very disappointing,
By
This review is from: Dragon Jousters #4 Aerie (Hardcover)
Several of the characters in the previous trilogy disappear without comment, and the wing of jousters we came to know and love is peripheral to the story which consists mostly of a soap opera involving Kiron and Aket-ten and some new characters who are not sufficiently developed for us to have any real interest in them. Pretty much a waste of your valuable reading time.

Death of the DragonJousters....,
By frfubar8 "joe reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dragon Jousters #4 Aerie (Hardcover)
The 4th in Mercedes Lackey's 'Dragon Jouster' series, Aerie reads less like a fantasy novel and more like an exploration of dysfunctional families/relationships. I spent most of the book wondering where the author was trying to go with the story and also if she might be purging some anger at a relative or two.Without giving away too much the book meanders back and forth between the angst of young lovers, the unrealistic demands of family and only at the very last minute is a pat conclusion conjured almost out of thin air. I would have been satisfied with a three book series (even though 'Sanctuary' was disappointing as well) rather than have the fourth book end it on such a lackluster note. If you haven't read any of this series then by all means pick up 'Joust' and 'Alta', the first two books. They are fresh, original and very good reads. I recommend them highly....just don't go any further. 15 of 17 people found the following review helpful

Ending the series with a whimper,
By Alaine Sepulveda "SCIgirl" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dragon Jousters #4 Aerie (Hardcover)
It took several pages before I could get interested in this book, but once I did I was pleasantly surprised ... for about half the book. The characters of Kiron and Aket-ten were showing greater complexity than they had in the past books, and I enjoyed the misunderstandings in their relationship, as well as the developing mystery that drove the plot. Then - POOF! - the real, understandable reasons for their disagreements were swept aside, the mystery was cleared up, and deus ex machina descended to solve all the problems for the Tians and Altans. It was such a disappointing ending to the series. I've been loyally reading all of Mercedes Lackey's books for the past twelve years, and I can't help feeling a little betrayed by the decline in quality.

Shame on DAW books- quality control problems,
By Parkermann347 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dragon Jousters #4 Aerie (Hardcover)
The story is alright, however I have collected all of Lackey's books since day one and have noticed something that appears to be a trend in the book publishing industry.Has anyone else noticed that DAW along with other publishers have switched to low quality materials for their hardcover books? Take a look at the paper for instance. We all paid a lot of money for a seriously inferior product. Just compare the other volumes in this set and then this last book. You won't like it when the first few look okay in about 5 years, but the new ones are already yellowed with age. I have already seen the yellowing at my local library and am so annoyed for spending money on junk. Wait for the paperback, this is the same just about 4 times as expensive. Shame on DAW! |
