Book Reviews of The Treasured One (The Dreamers, Book 2)
Book Review: Groundhog Day - Absurdity without Humor
Summary: 1 Stars
Book 1 (The Elder Gods) left me with enough interest to read more in the series. That has now been vanquished.
Book Two repeats itself over and over again as the author introduces each new character. Did the editor, publisher, or anyone at Warner Books bother to read the manuscript?
Hundreds of pages go by and the story crawls forward (like a snail, on Valium, traveling through molasses...). I kept reading, hoping against hope, that plot would gain some energy. It didn't.
When the key moment of the listless battle finally arrives, an 'unknown' god intervenes and creates a natural disaster that exterminates all the invading critters sent from Vlagh (along with some greedy church folk). The first book ended the same way. Yawn.
And according to all the experts in the story the Vlagh has now been permanently blocked from ever attacking those two regions again. That leaves the Vlagh with only two options left for expansion, the North and the East -- the domain of the remaining two gods.
What will the family of 4 gods do now?
1) They will keep the mercenary armies together. Please ignore the fact that the Trogs and Maags have a long history of robbing and killing each other. Amazing, all of that history is lost when some gold is waved under their noses.
2) New armies will be added to the mix adding even more paper thin characters to the story.
3) The battle lines will be drawn... the pivotal moment will arrive and I assume... a "natural disaster" will bring the battle to end.
