Reserved for the Cat by Mercedes Lackey

2.0

I was really hoping I'd like this book. I'd enjoyed most of the other books in this series, and between the telepathic cat and and the opera dancer, really, what was there not to like. Unfortunately, though this latest chronicle of Elemental Masters did have its moments, it wasn't nearly as excellent as the book I consider this series' peak: The Serpent's Shadow. The cat was just as awesome as I'd hoped he would be, as were several members of the supporting cast, but the heroine was never easy to get behind, and everything just rolled along to smoothly and ended to perfectly. I know this is usually the case for these books and usually I don't mind, but for some reason this one was quite a disappointment. Lackey fans will probably read and like it though, and this is a standalone so someone new to the world in which this series takes place wouldn't have any problems, though they'd probably be better off starting with one of the earlier books.
