" It is sad when a writer doesn't know when to give it up on a series. Although this one was not as "preachy" as the few before it, it still lacks what made the first ones in the series sparkle. I have been trying to find a word to describe what I feel about the ending, and I keep coming back to the word "offended", but maybe the more appropriate phrase would be "put off". I really didn't like the story line at all. I think there is enough human problems to delve into without bringing in an order of monks. I am not religous, (far from it - and don't get me started about the catholic church), but I just feel that how she treated these characters and what they really stand for quite shoddily. To delve into all the problems I have would put so many spoilers in this review it wouldn't be funny, but let's just say I think I am done with the series. I have the first 12 or so of this series and I have gone back to read them periodically, I will stick with them and remember when the stories were well thought out and plots didn't leave you unhappy in the end.
