5.0 out of 5 stars
He did it again!,
By Jay "Jay" (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Perfect Trust (Paperback)
This book was as good if not better than the first. Still as horrifying and with twists and turns that a good mystery should have. A wonderful chance to delve into a Wiccan mind and worldview!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Book,
By John Satyrbear AutumFrost "satyrbear" (Matthews, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Perfect Trust (Paperback)
This is a great series of mystery books that deal with Witchcraft in a very respectable way. The main characters are witches who help the law decipher occult symbols found at a St.Louis murder site. It's a fairly realistic portrayal of wiccans. Christians won't approve, but the book gets heavily into the craft and it's tenants.Check this one out, it was a rollercoaster ride.

Rambling and uncertain,
This review is from: Perfect Trust (Paperback)
The plot in this book doesn't take hold until about 100 - 120 pages in, and by page 180 or so the reader realises that only about fifty of the pages she has just read do anything at all to further the story. What does the rest consist of? It consists of: repetitive arguments between Rowan and his wife and Rowan and his best friend and between Rowan's wife and best friend; long, meandering descriptions of mundane activities inconsequential to the plot which also do not contribute to atmosphere (a torturous paragraph narrating how Rowan presses the button in an elevator to get the elevator to go to another floor, also narrating the texture and shape of said button and the movement of the elevator door comes to mind). Most intriguing of all, Rowan's wife Felicity, who is second-generation Irish-American, has apparently evolved or devolved since the first book into some breed of leprechaun with a dialect thicker than that of an actual Irish person: on one page, she manages to say 'Aye,' five times. The reader travels very fast through this book, as she ends up skimming page after page of material looking for clues or crucial plot points or even interesting details that contribute to her understanding of these characters, and finding few, is able to move relatively quickly (and that's a mercy) through a turgid and ill-conceived narrative. Sellars seems to have been spinning his wheels with this one, unsure of where the narrative should go, and unable or unwilling or simply out of the time that would allow him to put this critter through another draft, which it desperately needs. He seems as exhausted and as weeded as Rowan is. Unfortunately, the reader has to accompany Sellars along on his typing exercises as he gets warmed up to move his plot along at last, in the last hundred pages of a 368-page novel. Where the heck was his editor? If you want to read Sellars, read _Harm None_ which is personable and fun, or _Never Burn a Witch_, which at least has an interesting story. Let this one slip quietly out of print.
