The Adept 4 Dagger Magic Katherine Kurtz Deborah Turner Harris 9780441003044 Books

At this point, it's more about finishing the collection (I got the first book ages ago) than loving the books. I really liked the first one, the second kept me interested, but I've had to work my way through #3 & this one. At the beginning, the detailed descriptions of scenery, characters, actions, etc. were great, but by this one they're exhausting. I still like the images my mind comes up with (never having visited Scotland) based on most of the description, though. Maybe that's why I haven't given up.

The Adept 4 Dagger Magic Katherine Kurtz Deborah Turner Harris 9780441003044 Books Reviews

I have read almost all of Ms. Kurtz's books and have rarely been disappointed. This book fit well with the Adept series.
I ordered this book form the vendor and it arrived on time and in good condition.
All of the Adept books are fascinating. Full of mystery and magic with like able characters who are always believable
I'm a huge fan of wacky World War II occult/super-science stuff. Indiana Jones, Wolfenstein, that kind of stuff.
When I see that the book's got a swastika on the cover, has a title like "Dagger Magic", and the synopsis talks about crashed Nazi submarines and Nazi black magic threatening the free world, my attention is piqued.

Too bad 3/4 of the book is dominated by a wedding party, the honeymoon of two characters, and the investigation of a completely unrelated side-plot involving a woman astral-projecting and unknowingly causing accidents on a freeway.

The book opens by introducing the Nazi submarine and having ominous Tibetan monks killing some coast guard employees, and then the entire Nazi plot that the book is allegedly about doesn't come up again for a full 220 pages when the "bad guys" finally reveal what their devious plan actually is.
Even then, the "bad guys" don't get anywhere near the submarine to even execute their plan until after page 300. And despite this, the book is dominated by a whole lot of inane talking and not a lot of doing.

To make it even worse, in a book dominated by dialogue, every character sounds the same, except for a couple mercenaries who show up around page 300 and then end up getting killed 10 pages later. Every character "murmurs" and "grins wryly".

I should have learned my lesson after I picked up 'Lammas Night' by Katherine Kurtz for the same exact reason I picked this book up. 'Lammas Night' was plagued by similar problems - every character sounded the same and did a whole lot of (often repetitive) talk and very little interesting action.

Maybe I'd have liked 'Dagger Magic' more if I was a fan of the series it's a part of, but the book really felt like a bait-and-switch based on the description and I ended up being bored to tears.
I loved the "Adept" series and if there were others I would read them!!
Book was exactly what I ordered. Thank you.
Great condition
