Query: She's learned a lot since these were written!

The volume contains two old Stephanie James novels, DANGEROUS MAGIC, which is virtually unreadable (ZERO stars, if only one could award such a rating), and AFFAIR OF HONOR, which is better but still worth no more than two stars, and that if one is feeling generous. It really irks me when a popular novelist's old books are reissued to ride the coattails of the good work she's done more recently, but I suppose the publishing company needs the money. Too bad, because these can only bring the author embarrassment.
