Query: Not worthwhile

It bothers me to see fantasy authors relying on capital letters and other worn cliches to impart interest. Strauss's first novel showed some promise, but she loses steam here, resorting to the standard dialog patterns and melodramatic mood music to tell what is basically a trite tale in new clothes. The price is probably right. It's the time you might waste that you have to factor in when making the decision to purchase this. I wouldn't.
