Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Playing to the Gods by Melanie Rawn

This is the conclusion to the Glass Thorn series.  I really enjoyed Touchstone, the first book.   The second, Elsewhens  and the third, Thornlost  did not grab me as strongly but the conclusion in this book was excellent.   The theatre group, Touchstone, finally addresses all the issues of the first three books.  It ties everything up and provides a suitable ending for the myriad characters

Ms. Rawn has done a masterful job in presenting an eclectic cast of characters.  The characters often seem to be wallowing in personal revulsion.  Introspection is carried to extremes often leading to depression.  Ms. Rawn shows that people can deal with their personal ghosts and addictions and over come them.    Practically all  the allusions to societal ills such as discrimination, poverty, perversion that were made without being done with a heavy hand are addressed.

I found this book far more captivating than the previous four but sometimes things need to be seen to the end to appreciate the whole.

I recommend the book.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
