Not Bad, But Not Great

Bought these to attach a license plate to my rear windshield. They installed easily and stayed on the plate. Unfortunately, after about a month of our 90+ degree weather, they started to lose their grip on the windshield. I'd restick them and they'd put for a week or two, but then it would happen again.

They're not that bad, but I'd expected more after reading the reviews. I haven't forgotten it is a under $20 item.

This is not really a bad book, but if you are expecting Hillerman quality you may be disappointed. The plot and characters are not nearly as engaging. Again- it's not bad, just not really very good.

Not bad, but not great either. Has a bit of a dirt smell, and tea stems are many, but much better than some others on amazon.  It will lose it's color after about 2 steeps.

It is okay for the money, but nothing that great.

The tagline compares this to Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. I would have to say, it doesn't quite measure up to those two.  The book was just OK. It wasn't bad, it wasn't good, it sufficed for a nice afternoon of reading.  While the book was well edited and written, the characters were rather one dimensional and quite frankly each was lacking that "something" that makes you actually care what happens to them.  The political aspect of the world was rather interesting, however the magic was a very dry basic magic and the world was a mix of several different genres which threw me off (steampunk, meets high fantasy, meets urban fantasy?).  I  think with a touch of experience and a little more raw creativity, this author could become one of my favorites.  I would like to see more originality (make the rules of magic and the world unique, rather than a hodgepodge of different ideas), and give us a reason to care about the characters and I'd give this a higher review. I would say, if you're looking for a filler book, this is a pretty solid choice, but don't expect fireworks just yet.

If you start this series hoping for the best gay fantasy novel ever, you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

The plot--what there is of it--is not bad, and has a few unique details, although it tries at times to be heavier than it actually is. The characters are passably original, although they fall into cliches at times.  The world was detailed, but it's dumped on you too fast to get a good feel for it.  Dialogue was okay, but the action scenes were...poor.

The biggest thing Scarlet and the White Wolf seems to have going for it is that it's lacking in the smut that so many other gay fiction books have. I approve of this lack, but that doesn't automatically make it a good book.

After reading all the glowing reviews here I expected a whole lot more from the book, and it didn't live up to it. I did finish reading the series, and was suitably impressed by the increased quality of the sequels, but I think I would've enjoyed the entire experience more if I hadn't been led to expect too much by other reviewers.

I liked the beginning of the book well enough, but the further I read, the less enthralled I was. There were many plot devices that didn't work for me, and the characters left me wanting more.  I also didn't like the ending, but I won't spoil that for anyone.

It isn't a bad book, but it is certainly not a great book.  If you are in the mood for some easy reading, you might like it.

Not bad, but not great.  A middle of the road game for us.  Not a game for longevity, that's for sure.  Once you get going, it gets better, but about 50% of our group didn't really like it.  Everyone has to be pretty creative, or it can be boring.  Would recommend if you have a lot of open minded/ creative people in your group.

I picked this book up the other day from the library and was a full quarter of the way through it before I realised I'd read it before. There's a reason for that. It's not a bad story overall, but it suffers from a lack of anything unique or innovative enough to make it memorable. The plot and characters are all passable, but I guarantee almost any reader will have come across many like them before.

I'd recommend Mirror of Destiny to fantasy fans after a decent read to pass the time, but don't expect to be impressed.

This book was good, but not great; outside of a couple of surprises, it was fairly predictable.  this was my first time reading this author.

I ordered the frosted white version for my Moto-X, and it's not a bad product for the money, but it's not great either.

Pros:
  - case is raised along the edges to protect the screen
  - case was pretty cheap
  - the hole for the audio jack is wide enough for the cords on my amp and overear headphones. I've had cases for my other phones where this was so small that I had to remove it if the cord was thicker near the jack.

Cons:
  - After almost 5 months of standard use, the case is yellowing a little from the use.
  - The corners of the case slide back a little bit from my pocket sometimes so the edge that's usually raised from the screen doesn't always stay completely in front of it

Not bad, but not great. The product would be better if the manufacturer used better zippers. It did do the job for me though...I used this across 4 international flights without issue.

It's not bad, but it's not good; just okay.  The premise for the plot allowed for so many possibilities, but generated very little intrigue or interest in the characters.  About 1/4  of the way into the book, I wondered where the book was headed.  By the end, I wondered why it went where it did.

interesting characters but I kept waiting for something to actually happen. This feels as if it is setting up a new series so not much going on.  Not bad but not great.

Okay of a read. Not bad, but not great. Just wish the author was a bit more specific. Not enough examples.

Meh... it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't exceptionally good either. It was a quick read.
