I can only say that I like it, probably because I have nothing else to compare it to. The characters aren't the nicest in the world but I like that, they're not just plain nasty either. I like Shivers internal struggle, for example. The Morveer/Cosca powerstruggle was very amusing too. Two very different and likeable/dislikeable personalities in their own way<br /><br />I look forward to The Heroes, got my preorder in.

But do give them a chance; after all, plenty of folk loved Best Served Cold.<br /><br />Patrick - merci.

Hearing iffy things about Best Served Cold didn't help either. But if I'm garunteed a winner in The Heroes, I'm much likely to give them both a chance, epic violence be damned.<br /><br />and damn was that a great article!redheadhttp://littleredreviewer.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
