Spent a lot of money on crap I shouldn't have with loyalty to the name. I'm not optimistic.Straight from a kid's book. On par with the werewolf Remus Lupin, the male elf Melf, or Rhage the bad-boy vampire stud. Sorry if your name is Roger. You're not getting a starring role in a fantasy book with a name like that. And with a name like Rosethorn three guesses which organization of Knights she'll be connected to...A time travel plot... How original and totally bold for the setting. I mean no one has ever come up with this idea before. But, she's got the name thing, as implied, so it'll work. Feels like I'm getting a dose of Star Trek's mcguffin (we can create a new timeline of events and new stories with the old characters if we just use time travel) so they can tug on nostalgic strings. However, I was entertained quite a bit by the new Star Trek, so maybe it's not automatically all bad?Really isn't about whether you like or hate him or the idea of kender. I think it's more that Tas stories have been overdone to the extreme. Every shenanigan, time travel book, new generation of heroes, etc. gets a dose of Tas. There's a groan because it's clear no one is going to come up with something new and awesome. It's okay to do something new, it really is, but I understand nostalgia sells. I've been subjected to crappy repackaging of everything from the 80s: Ghostbusters, Footloose, Dirty Dancing, Adventures in Babysitting etc. etc. </blockquote>
