book 1 of Witches of Eileananoriginal copyright 1997,
read in Jan 2011
Agamedes' opinion: 5 out of 10
Warning: This is not a novel! It is not even one book of a trilogy... It is the first volume of a three (or more?) volume story.Yes, it's one of those annoying books which ends with a cliff-hanger. Or several.
Okay, I did enjoy reading this book. Until about page 400 of 500 -- when I thought, There is no way that this plot can wrap itself up in just 100 more pages...
A dead giveaway, really: A group of new characters being introduced at what should have been a build-up to a climax. And all these characters did, was to meet other characters and escape from an evil city... No link to any previous action. No link to any subsequent action, either...
From there, Forsyth introduced yet another set of characters... Introduced them, then left them.
