Carol Berg, Son of Avonar
Roc (2004) ISBN: 0-451-45962-8
Score: 1.5
Start of the epic fantasy trilogy, the Bridge of D'Arnath. While it is nice to see a thirty-something widow as the heroine, the frequent flashback scenes interrupted the flow of the story (and some of them turned out to be dreams reminding her of things she'd forgotten). Most of the characters were well done, but the villains were made of cardboard and the characters helping them didn't have good reasons to. Not sure if I'll read the other two books.
Next Book: Rachel Caine, Ill Wind
