Summary: Good, but...
Comment: As a fan of the "Dark Fiction" (alright, horror!) genre I have enjoyed the various entries into the Crow universe. I must point out that I truly loved both Poppy Brite's and David Bischoff's entries into the field. Sometow leaves me flat. Flat is the best word to decribe the entire work. I've not read much written by the man, but the reader is left with a distinct sense of distance throughout the thje piece. Perhaps this is an embodiment of the often stated Bhuddist notion that life is illusion, so we should not be overly concerened with what goes on on earth. Unfortunately, this philosophy acrries over in the book and one doesn't really care about the characters, the events, or the settings. Its a great deal of beautiful fluff waiting for plot and characterization to save it.

Summary: What Was I Thinking?
Comment: What was I on with my last review for this book? Anyways, being the 4th book so far in the series, it did manage to add some different elements, like past lives and supernatural forces. I liked the fact that Stephen Lelliot could call upon crows to help him in his journey. What I didn't like though was that the action didn't start until 3/4 of the story. That and the end battle was very confusing and what I could understand, there wasn't enough happening. Also, the villian,"Dirk Temple" seemed like a cousin to the bad guy,"Joseph Lethe" in Lazarus Heart. Too many times for that type of character in my honest opinion. Out of all these books so far, Clash By Night is the best one(in my honest opinion).
