Heir to the Shadows by Anne BishopMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Concession Stand: Soft Pretzel
The disjointed storytelling techniques that Anne Bishop employs are overshadowed by the way she makes you truly feel for her characters. The story seems to jerk forward in leaps and bounds and there are long stretches that feel unaccounted for as they thrust a girl-child into womanhood before the reader is ready for that progression. The detailing of one character's madness is intriguing and yet at the same time you almost wish that she would move that particular character forward as they seem stuck in this endless loop - not growing, not changing, just a static placeholder while the other characters catch up.
