Review: The Armies of Daylight by Barbara Hambly

The good

• A reasonable conclusion that wraps up all the major mysteries and plot lines in the story.

• A few glimpses of good writing.

The not so good

• The way many of the plot lines are wrapped up is a little too simple. The book relies way too much on Ingold being all powerful. He more or less single-handedly resolves everything.

• The love stories didn’t work for me. Not one of them. Especially the last one. They felt contrived and weird.

• The book doesn’t take any risks. None of the important characters die or ever feel like they are really at risk, so there’s not much suspense.

Rating: 3 stars
