A review by vkshiro
Always by Nicola Griffith
2.0
I was disappointed by the third and final book of the Aud series. The format of alternating between the main story taking place in Seattle and the self defense class in Atlanta just didn't work.
Seattle was the better of the two stories but was still plagued with the "I'm completely and totally devoted to a person I just met" that happened in the first book of the series.
The self defense class "story" didn't even feel like a story--more like a book on self defense (that may or may not be accurate). There were too many characters, especially since none of them were interesting and most were annoying. What happened at the end was fairly obvious from early on.
I'm not sure why Griffith changed the format for the last book...but it just didn't work. I'd give it a 2 out of 5 but that's only because I already knew the characters. As a stand-alone book, it'd only get one star.
