There comes a point when the initial thrill must either gently fade or deepen into love. Or catastrophically explode into a bitter falling out.

Unfortunately [...] she is unable to ally acute characterisation to anything approaching a satisfying story.

On every page you are likely to find evidence of a great writer, but that doesn't change the fact that Atwood has written a bad book and she should feel bad.

The Ask And The Answer may be slower and less exhilarating to begin with than its predecessor but that is because it requires a fundamental change of mindset from the reader.

The Chronicles of the Black Company is of greater interest than that, but it is certainly no masterpiece and does fit more comfortably into the role of fondly regarded but not often visited ancestor.
