Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)So, I am a great fan of Lackey and have read all of her books. Foundation was one of my favorites of hers so far, but frankly I was overall disappointed with Intrigues. I mean the plot was interesting and all, but the way in which it was presented was choppy at best. Lackey seems to have been in a hurry with this one for there is none of her previous more flowing writing style. It jumps from scene to scene abruptly, and you are left with some feelings of disappointment for the scenes are not played out fully to reader satisfaction. Also as a side note...she could use a new editor to check grammar and spelling (sorry pet peeve of mine). Anyway, interesting plot and the character of Mags does show really interesting growth in this installment. However, I think Lackey needs to revisit her old works because this writing style does not even come close to her previous works.
