Power of Gods by Nancy Madore reads like a genre jumper, a book that contains elements of
two or more writing genres. In Power of Gods one genre is the much
expected supernatural (demonology) thriller and the other genre that of a smutty
romance. Put to together in the way that Madore has written the novel, the
sexual exploits are cheaply written, and therefore, it presence only cheapen an
otherwise good supernatural adventure. In addition, Power of Gods
contains too much repetitive narration, and dialog. Once a character has
explained a pertinent fact of interest there is not need for that same
information, historical or otherwise to be restated by another character. Doing
so gives the readers the impression that the writer is just filling pages. All
this repetitiveness information does is cause boredom and does nothing to move
the story alone. Neither does the over use of dialog make up for the lack of
action in the story. Events that happen to and around Amanda in Alaska, though
she is not a likable character and
overdone stereotype of the spiteful and self-seeking shallow bitch, is almost a
welcome break from drawn out narrative events happening as related by Nadia and
the Raphaelians in New York.
At times I felt I was
reading narrative from Wikipedia.
Power of Gods, is the
second volume in Nancy Madore
On a scale on 1 to 5 in creativity and originality, I give Nancy
Madore‘s Power Of Gods Volume II Of Legacy Of The Watchers Series an unrestrained 2.
I would have liked to say that this book is a "page-turner"
and that I could not put it down. However, in truth and as a reviewer, after the first few chapters, I could not put is down
fast enough. Power of Gods
is a great disappointment.
