Booklog 2009: 3-4 of 50
Monday, 26 January 2009 20:583. Title: Scandalous Risks
Author: Susan Howatch
Series: Starbridge Series Book 4 of 6
Pages: 469
Date Finished: 21.I.2009
Thoughts: This book has a distinctly different flavour from the previous three books. Told from the point of view of a female instead of a male, it's a lot 'messier' - and I'm not sure if that's because a female author is writing a female character or what. I don't know. It was an interesting change, but it didn't seem as spiritual heavy as the others - which was disappointing for me. And I missed the clear mentor/mentee | director/petulant directed dynamic.
4. Title: Mystical Paths
Author: Susan Howatch
Series: Starbridge Series Book 5 of 6
Pages: 502
Date Finished: 26.I.2009
Thoughts: This book takes place firmly with the seocnd generation, and seems more of a murder mystery than the spiritual crisis novel, but it does give us the chance to meet Lewis, who is absolutely phenomenal. I definitely loved the new characters, not sure how I feel about some of the paranormal things that were presented in this book. However, in this books, Howatch continues to prove just how gifted she is with the pen, and I have numerous pages dogeared for quotes to write down later. Novels that create quotes are always successes in my books.
