There are a lot of points in the story where Richardson holds the reader captive. At other times, the story is filled with so much description that it slows the pace. The dialogue, however, models realistic patterns of speech. The glossary at the beginning of the book is helpful with some of the terms used throughout the book. Some characters lack depth, failing to reach beyond their purpose for the story. Revealing a lot of potential, The Power Master contains elements that are original and unique to Richardson, even as it models a classic tale of good versus evil. The end wraps the story up well without leaving the reader with too many questions. Overall, this is a good story in need of some fine tuning.
