2008-02-20 Feehan fan disappointed

I am a genuine fan of Ms Feehan. When I buy her books I generally keep them, even the one's that disappoint. I knew this book was a manga novel when I bought it (I like comic's so I didn't feel it was a problem) If anyone out there remembers Conan the Barbarian comics of the eighties, then that is what I imagined the book to be like before I bought it. It is nothing like that, there is no soul in the book or the drawings. The basic story line, if fleshed out, could have been a classic Feehan - but the drawings were.... flat, some were crammed together and difficult to follow, I found myself looking at them in the wrong order. The words were few and far between - what you read on the back sleeve covered a third of the book - it is not a thick book. It took me no more than an hour to 'read' and I found a lot of the drawings very basic, not very well done at all. Sorry if this review disappoints but I sold the book on the next day - which tells it's own story!
