Message: <blockquote data-quote="Klaus" data-source="post: 3244457" data-attributes="member: 607">Regarding Mark of Death (spoilers within):[sblock] It's very very bad. Characters change attitude at a coin's toss. The paladin-lady knows and is amusing that the lead protagonist is talking the dumb jailor to hand over the key to the paladin-lady, so she can have the authority to release lead character and doggy-shifter. But as soon as that happens, she becomes antagonistic to lead character and won't release him, even though the village is being attacked by vampires.The paladins are very unpaladin-like, and very un-charismatic, even though they should (as paladins) have high Charisma. They are also very very dumb, insisting on burying dead comrades in the middle of the Mournlands. And nevermind the fact that for a religion that worships the Silver FLAME, cremation would be a logical means of putting the dead to rest.Even though they've been a staple of the setting for 30 years, the sudden appearance of warforged has everyone spooked and confused. Oh noes! What's this?The lead character protects an elf girl like a daughter, even though he's human and she's probably older than him by about a century. Yet she behaves just like a human child.Everyone has an easy time piloting an airship, even though no one has the Mark of the Storm.A crazy deathless elf living inside the Mournland? And she dispatches the (at that point) main antagonist off screen? Talk about a deus ex machina!The changeling psion had no reason to *be* a psion. Being the second novel set in Eberron, it'd stand to logic that the book should be as iconic of the setting as possible. Either have the psion be a kalashtar or Inspired, or have the changeling be a rogue/sorcerer.A frickin' CITY of warforged walking about the Mournlands, and the Lord of Blades isn't there? How many cities *does* he have?This are just *some* of my problems with Marked For Death. I never picked up the second one. [/sblock]</blockquote>
