Swallowing Darkness

I have to confess that some parts of this book I just skimmed. There was too much detail to unimportant things to the story line. The best part of the book was probably the last few chapters in which place the final battle took place. Compared to the prior Meredith books this one was just not up to par, there was too much politics and too little action to progress the plot.

Every other chapter or so the story gets good, but it's usually just a few pages and then it goes back to being a bunch of talk & explaining and nothing happens. There's always some life threatening thing happening and yet, Merry has time to stand there and cry about what to do or she touches someone and goes off into another world on a hill where she has rough sex and grows flowers. It's getting old.
