Dawn Arrives by Michael Anderle
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Better finale

*******. Spoiler Alert******




This volume was a much better finale than Life Goes On.
But I still have some issues with the way things were handled.
Michael Anderle spent a lot of time with Giles and what about Sabine? She and Demon disappeared after Bethany Anne arrived. I see so many missed opportunities here. Sabine was mentioned once in the warehouse in China when they collected the ship parts and was never mentioned again. She just faded in the background.
Reading this book we are able to see some of the missing chunks from Life Goes On but still is not enough.
I think Michael Anderle is stretched out thin with so many spin-off books. He lost his focus in the main story and neglected the continuity of the main plot. I didn’t see this in early books. His later books could not stand alone or be read out of order. I read them in order and got confused with so many tangent lines.
The subplots were not resolved in a satisfying way and left me feeling like something was missing or either hoping that something else was going to happen.
I’m struggling to decide if I’ll continue with the next phase of the story.
Maybe in the future, but right now, I don’t think I want to be that disappointed after investing so much time and emotions into a series.
