Book Reviews of Valentine's Exile (Vampire Earth, Book 5)
Book Review: Improvement needed
Summary: 4 Stars
I would have given this 3.5 stars, if I could. I chose 4 over 3 because the series as a whole is worth (I think) at least 4 stars.
General Feeling: Worth reading but unsatisfying in some ways.
I agree with what some of other dissapointed reviewers say, though I actually think the ending was good,it woke me up a bit.
There are a couple of continuity errors and (disagreeing with what someone above said) some plot recipes that reduce the quality of this novel, and the general overall story did not seem to make many advances.
First of all David seems to have lost some of his "Wolf" or "Cat" powers. Specifically the super speed, there were quite some occasions to use it, but he never did (for example in the competition with the worm riders).
The plot recipe (formula) I am referring to is the one where our hero is somehow brought into a "tribal" situation where he has to learn the customs of the new tribe and through his valorous actions becomes a valued member of that tribe. David already did with the Jamaicans, and now with the Worm riders. This formula gets old fast.
I am a fan of Knight but I really felt that not as much happened in this book as in the previous ones.
