2.0�toiles sur 5 Uneven, with very good moments, F�v 26 2004

Par	C. Meyers "cm4755" (Atlanta, GA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Crown of Silence (Paperback)

This book is so frustrating -- there are moments that are really very good. It's a classic journey of self-discovery (individual and group) and Constantine is a good writer at the sentence level. But, as has been mentioned here, the plot and character development is very uneven. All in all, it feels like it needed another few hours of baking.

2.0�toiles sur 5 Choppy waters with petulant characters, Janv. 8 2004

Par	Shawn Oster (Boulder, CO) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Crown Of Silence (Hardcover)

I really wanted to like this book more. There were some good ideas but whenever it started to get interesting it would digress into petulant sulky inner dialogs or catty exchanges between the characters. It has a strong self-discovery theme but sadly that seems wasted as the characters never really seem to evolve, only switch who is their new best-friend.

Constantine's writing flows beautifully and there are some wonderful images but any connection I felt to the characters was tenuous at best. By the end of the book the only character I cared to know more about was the indirect antagonist, Valraven Palindrake, and even he comes off as the bad boy in the clique that everyone either secretly loves or openly loves to hate.

If you are into soap operas then you may find some enjoyment in the characters and story but for my taste everyone was just a bit of a drama queen.

1.0�toiles sur 5 Ther eis one word for it - "BAD", Janv. 24 2003

Par Un client

This review is from: The Crown of Silence (Paperback)

This book was simply bad. It is disappointing after the first book. Crown of Silence is laborious , tiresome and drags on for ever. I don't think the author had any clarity about the story at this point. I wish I had read the reviews before I started reading the book. Crown of Silence was not essential to the story and could have been skipped.
