I took a quick glance at that "review" and half the complaints the reviewer are the result of the person not understanding the situation or frankly not bothering to put his brain in any other gear other than "I'm going to be critical". One complaint I thought was utterly stupid was mentioning that Ariel could suddenly learn languages. She has never done that. She spoke a the language of the Black Sun at one point after the time skip. The reviewer ignored that Ariel had been under the tutelage of Diva for years and Diva almost certainly did know how to speak Black Sun and would have taught it to Ariel. Another complaint was Ariel absorbing magical weapons. Bull Cookies. Ariel can absorb biological constructs (And this totaly fits in with the known powerset). This is of rather limited use since these are rather rare being used as weapons. I am not saying that Drowtales isn't without it's faults. But that review was no review.
