Review - The Red Plague Affair



Disclaimer:  I received this book free from Orbit in exchange for an honest review.  I did not receive any form of compensation.

Let me first start by saying that I am not being overly nit picky lately.  It just seems that too many books just haven't been drawing me in lately.  I am not sure if the authors are just trying to push out books to quickly or if editors are allowing things through much more easily.

I had not read the first book in this series.  I really wish that I had.  There were too many things that had me completely confused throughout this book.  Even through my confusion, I was able to complete the book though.

The book was adequately written.  The plot was decent enough.  It didn't sweep me off my feet & make me say "WOW!  I have got to read the rest of the series".  It was just a pleasant afternoon read that left me with a meh feeling.  I didn't become overly invested in the characters at all.

I guess one of the things that confused me was that the two main characters seemed to spend most of their time off pursuing other things.  I still have no idea why Clare was after Dr. Vance.  And since I really can't forsee me reading either the first or any subsequent books, then that will be a mystery that won't be solved for me.

If so, then I will put them into this blog. In the meantime, I am going to try to become active in blogging again. I can't promise anything. I had gotten so discouraged by the spam, that I had completely given up.

Read through from start to finish or search through the list of hundreds of the most common proverbs, arranged from A to Z for easy reference. You'll learn about each proverb's surprising origins, why some are valid and others are not, the derivation and meanings behind them, and their relevance in today's society. Includes entries like: Two heads are better than one: Like the less-familiar "Four eyes see better than two," this proverb extols the benefits of having someone else help you make up your mind-and it's a view that goes back to at least the fourteenth century. But while it is always useful to have a second opinion (A sounding board? Someone else to blame?) it might also be worth bearing in
