Losing vitality and energy
31 Aug 2008
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
It's sad to me when the best part of a book is when old characters that you knew put in a cameo appearance. Fall with Honor was a let down to me because Val seems to just going through the motions. There is an interesting mission and there could be interesting characters, but the writing feels like Knight has gotten bored with writing about this subject and doesn't really give it his best.
Book 7 and Val is taking part in an effort to start another area of human control in a Kurian zone. He's worn down, tired, broken to a greater or lesser degree, but for some reason none of that really matters because he is still Val. The folks who surround him seem to be just different iterations of many similar characters that we fought, served with and hated before. It's frustrating because there is so much more to be told about this series.
What really bothers me is that with a little more work and design there is a lot of very interesting things that could be happening. The potential is really great in that Knight has left enough loose ends out there for some great stuff to come of it. I just wish that he would get as deeply involved as it felt like he was in the past.

Disappointing, bland and a bit too cliche.
19 July 2008
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've read every book in this series and the Dragon series, and so far have had nothing but praise for Knight.
This book is disappointing.
-What's up with the "let's bring back every major character from other books back"? This idea was poorly executed and becomes a bit too unbelievable.
-The characters are shallow. Compared to previous Valentine books, these guys are just zombies.
-The writing style itself is different. While the previous books were, for the most part, page turners, this one reads as if a boring college professor is discussing a small war in a country you don't care about.
-The main idea behind this book is pointless. Basically, if you don't read this book, you wont miss much.
However, Knight has proved that he can write a good book, and it's way too early to give up on him just because of one bummer.

Disappointing
6 July 2008
Format:Hardcover
I've followed the vampire earth series for quite some time now. I thought the first 5 were great. However, the last two, Fall with Honor especially, have lost a lot of what made the others fun to read. There's no real excitement or internal struggle. Characters have lost their depth. It feels like Knight has run out of ideas and is just plodding along with the story because he's supposed to.
No good story should be drug on forever.
If you're a fan of the series, I'm sure you'll read it. Just don't expect much. Hopefully the next one will revive the series and turn toward a conclusion.
