3.0

This is a case where I'd recommend not putting too much stock in my star rating, because I'm just not sure how exactly to rate it. I think that this was a case of the wrong book for the wrong reader. I'm not a huge fantasy reader, but I love Charlaine Harris and thought that the multi-author set up of this book was interesting and wanted to read it (I haven't read anything by any of the authors, though I have books by several of them on my shelves waiting to be read). I found the first half or so of this book really confusing, and I wasn't sure whether the plot was actually confusing, or if as a non-fantasy reader, I just wasn't picking up on conventions of the genre that other readers won't have trouble following. The pace of the second half of the book picked up quite a bit for me, and I enjoyed the overall story. I was overall impressed with the way the story came together with multiple authors- in school, I always hated being assigned group papers because I found it difficult to present a cohesive voice just in academic writing, but these authors did not seem to suffer from this.
