Review: So sad!
Rating: 1 out of 5
Date: 09 21, 2013
Taught me to never buy a book that had as large a percentage of 1 star reviews as it did 5 stars! The story line is well thought out, but the development is so juvenile I just kept wondering who in their right mind had given it five stars. I suppose it would be a decent read for a 10 to 12 year old, but with so much tedious repetition they might find it a bit boring as well. I wanted to like it but unfortunately it was just too insipid, the heroes too vapid, the antagonists too cartoonish, that it became 100% predictable. The author's use of Arthurian dialect interspersed with modern slang was irritating to say the least. It's too bad that it's so bad...please do not fall for the literary reviews, page after page, at the beginning and/or end of each book in this 3 book collection...I'm pretty sure Ms. Rice's own mothers, brothers and sisters must of written them, as if find it hard to believe any self-respecting critic would stoop to this wasted effort.
