Rating: **
This cross-over story lacks ... just about everything. It lacks character development, plot development, suspension of disbelief, and the charm of the previous Mara/Gus novel.
Gus wielding a sword? An actual sword?
Best friends at first sight?
A new mother leaving her firstborn in the care of the maybe-father who thinks the child might be evil incarnate?
The falling action is the only well-paced part of the narrative; the rising action is full of holes and the climax arrives too quickly. While this story wouldn't prevent me from picking up another Mara/Gus novel, I am fairly disappointed that I actually paid for this.
