Review # 2 was written on 2010-03-08 00:00:00 Derek Tull I read Laura Anne Gilman's "Staying Dead", the first book in the Retriever series, and wasn't very impressed. Laura Anne Gilman tried to create a new world of magic, but she made it way too complicated. There was so much time spent just trying to describe and explain the many different intricacies of her characters' world, that the flow of the book suffered. It was a difficult read. I went ahead and started "Curse the Dark", because I was hoping that, having gotten most of the explanations and descriptions of her world out of the way in the first book, she could settle down to concentrate on plot. It was actually a more difficult read than the first book, and, I'm sorry to say, I could not bring myself to finish the second book. It was more work than enjoyment to read.
