Don’t waste your time reading these books. They are just romance trash dressed up as fantasy. The writing is okay, but really sub par. The characters are just too good to be true.

If you liked the author’s “Goddess By Mistake” for its sense of humor, I think that you’ll be a bit disappointed by this one, like I was. The (excuse the pun) “fish out of water” scenario was done much better in that one, the dialogue was sharper and the pace was faster, and the mythology didn’t overwhelm the story.

Right off the bat we’re introduced to the heroine who is a sargeant in the Air Force who is afraid of flying. To me, that little quirk wasn’t cute, it was annoying. Everything that happened after that was very predictable. The book seemed to be sort of an unsuccessful blending of the films “The Little Mermaid” and “Sister Act”.

I think the problem with this book was that there was just too much emphasis on the whole Earth Mother relationship and not enough on the characters themselves – they were too one-dimensional, the good guys were all good, the bad guys were all bad. At times I just felt that I was being lectured to – as if the author had attended one of those “Goddess Within The Feminine”-type seminars and was determined to tell us everything she had learned. It just didn’t work well because it was too heavy-handed. I kept thinking to myself as I read the book “I know that stuff already, get on with the story!”.

Here’s hoping that her next book is better than this one, because I like the basic premise of her stories and I think she can do a lot more with them.

I kept debating whether or not to get it but I am glad that I did. I loved the story. It was well written and loved the characters. I felt like I was in the world with them. I cant wait to read the second book.
