Query: Could have been better

As with quite a few of the Preludes and Meetings books, this seemed out of tune with the Chronicles view of Tanis. There is a certain way the Tanis talks and acts, but these authors couldn't quite seem to grasp it.The plot was slightly ridiculous. I find it difficult to believe Tanis would even consider starting on this adventure just to find news about his father.I don't usually object to a bit of love mixed into a story, but when it becomes the story to the exclusion of all else, I start to worry.The whole thing about Death was stupid. This, along with the rest of the happenings in the book, is never mentioned by Tanis in the Chronicles series. A lot of the Preludes are a bad conclusion to a good idea.In saying all this, I still enjoyed the first half of the book. The rest really set my teeth on edge.
