long-awaited sequel big disappointment
SInce reading "Jack of Hearts" and "Living Upstairs" I had eagerly been awaiting the next Nathan Reed saga. When it finally came out I was so excited, but as soon as I started reading it I was very disappointed. The characters fail to live up to the caliber of those in Hansen's other books (who can forget Rick Ames and Alma?). The characters in "Cutbank Path" are shallow and underdeveloped, and not at all memorable. Add to that the deplorable editing/proofreading job (I never saw so many typos in one book!). I will continue to re-read "Jack of Hearts" and "Living Upstairs," but I don't think I'll pick up this one again.
