Thanks for your thoughts on this urban fantasy. I'm glad I'm not the only one who found it rough.
I made it a bit past the first third of Child of Fire before I gave up. Not that I'm a reader who thinks that every writer should be a Bard in Fealty to Apollo, but Connolly's prose is just so monotonous that it was too painful to continue. I guess CoF is a bit different than the standard urban fantasy fare with vampires and werewolves, but it lacked any real passion or inspiration or the kind of innovation that would hold my interest. Others may feel differently, but I was annoyed so much last year that I was moved to blog about it.
