Rolan is practically non-existent within Arrow’s Flight. But that isn’t the worst frustration wrought upon the reader. There is contrived drama when both characters are oh-so worried that the other may be infatuated with them when all either want is sex and friendship. That said, you the reader are also made to feel as if you’re slogging through snow from all the wasted pages spent at the Waystation. There is plenty of work done to regain control of her Gift, and growth between Tali and Kris’ relationship. Unfortunately, much of the book’s potential is lost when a snowstorm strands Kris and Talia at a Waystation. There is a great deal to unpack within this book: Elspeth’s companion (a mysterious companion that Talia doesn’t recognize at first), Lord Orthallen’s deliberate manipulation and isolation of Talia, Talia’s broken and near-uncontrollable Gift, and (of course) the ups-and-downs of her patrol and dalliances with Kris. BROKEN TRUST, SUBTLE PLOTTING, AND A LOT OF PLODDING (SPOILERS AHEAD)Īrrow’s Flight is chock-full of pacing problems.
