Review: Too Long & Convoluted
Rating: 1 out of 5

A witch in Elizabethan England? When witches were burned? A self-described witch who has no realistic fears for her life despite the "enemies" who know of her witch-ness? And, to make it duller, a witch who doesn't seem to have very many interesting powers or abilities, and who basically doesn't use the powers she has: protagonist may as well have been a shopgirl and nothing else. Nothing in the book's details would place it in London or England, even, let alone Elizabethan England, which is one of my favorite historical periods and the major reason I downloaded the book. The Mystery aspect of this too-predictable Romance is convoluted and dreadfully drawn out, while the Romance itself is just dryer than tinder and repetitious beyond endurance. An experienced editor would have been a boon to this book. Uninteresting, unbelievable characters hampered by a wooden writing style and a convoluted, repetitious plot.
