You know, it's not that I don't enjoy this series, but more and more as it goes on, I find myself thinking that I don't enjoy it nearly as much as I feel like I should, or even as much as I keep trying to convince myself that I do. This one... is OK, I guess? The combination of frothy stuff about having to save the theater's musical production from lawsuits and financial problems and the implication of cosmically important events being set up is a little odd. One of those two things is much more interesting than the other, but it's the thing that's barely dealt with, not the one that's focused on. Maybe the next book will finally bring things to a really interesting head, but then, I was kind of thinking that already after the previous one.
The resolution of the plot is more than a little contrived-feeling and anticlimactic, too. And while there may be more efficient ways of snapping my suspension of disbelief than having actors in your carefully world-built fantasy novel break out into a Gilbert and Sullivan parody, I'm not sure I can think of one off the top of my head. Honestly, all the little snippets of musical parody here feel like the author being just a little too pleased with his own cleverness.
For all that, it was readable enough, I suppose, and I still have lingering fondness for Vlad and his world, but I can't say this installment has actually got me feeling all that bad about the apparently imminent end of the series.… (mehr)
