I felt short-changed
Having been gripped by all the previous six books in the Zion Covenant series, I assumed that London Refrain would would be of the same calibre. I was rather disappointed.
The flyleaf unashamedly descibes it as 'a "Director's Cut", including a portion of the Thoene Classic 'The Twighlight of Courage' and thrilling, never-before-published scenes with characters you've come to know and love through the Zion Covenant series.' This is probably a fair description except that the book lacks the intensity of earlier Thoene novels. I felt that there were too many characters featured in this book considering the length of it and the descriptions of the characters were lacking; I didn't feel as though I was getting to know them again. It has been some years since I read the previous books and therefore I felt that it would have helped to have been reintroduced to them. In this way, the book doesn't effectively stand on its own. Also, having read The Twighlight of Courage, London Refrain contained few surprises; I already knew 50% of the plot before beginning the book.
All-in-all, I felt rather short-changed.
