I've been trying to track down some plot-notes for Good Cleric, Bad Cleric (which I'm beginning to be sure are in a journal that is at home, if they exist anywhere), and found my LJ-reaction to the only one of these books that I read:
Cast in Shadow. One of those books that randomly caught my eye in the bookstore. I wasn't highly impressed upon reading it, however. The civilization seemed to want to be Draegaeran (I don't know if I have those vowels right), but it was nowhere near managing it. There were a lot of inexplicable conversations, and a lot of inexplicable withholding of information from the viewpoint character, and a lot of confused reader. Also I had a lot of trouble believing that the protagonist was observant and really devoted to being a Hawk (which seemed to be somewhat like being a policeman, although this was not entirely clear either). I'm not going to be getting the sequel any time soon, if ever.

And this was before the Ridiculous.
