Sharon Layburn's Reviews > Fired Up

Book 1 of the Dreamlight Trilogy. I do love the psychic books that Krentz comes up with, and this reminded me of her earlier books Gift of Gold and Gift of Fire. This book was a little bit of a let down however. Right away I found some typo's (one character is referred to as "Sharon" one one page and "Susan" ten pages later) and some jarring repetition in conversations (the hero's age is mentioned three times in two pages- almost like Krentz forgot she already established it a page before and a page before that! Also, I felt the explanation and description of the psychic skill/bond that the two characters shared was not presented very well, but I was willing to go with it.
The part that really annoyed me was one that might not bother most other readers. I have had about enough of the Arcane Society. I've read all of Krentz' books, and I still have a hard time remembering all the characters from other books that she throws around. Who has had their own book, and who is just being mentioned in case they wind up in a book later on? For those who were mentioned, what happened to them before? What have I forgotten, what am I missing? That sort of thing drives me crazy.
That being said, the teaser for book 2 did make me want to read more, so I guess the weaknesses of the book didn't drive me crazy enough to give up on the trilogy.
