Magic's Price by Mercedes Lackey
3.0

A weaker book in the series. As with the previous book I enjoyed the Forst Reach scenes; I also enjoyed the character of Stefan although it would have been stronger with more development in his own right and less Tylendel-reincarnated.

The balance between domesticity and Big Bad Evil wasn't quite right. It also wasn't fun to read the book knowing - as had been foretold in book one and described in Arrows if the Queen - how it inevitably had to end. The build up to this confrontation was tedious (and included a needless rape scene with a hand-wave convenient recovery) and the actual conclusion too quick to have any emotional impact.
