Review: Slight plot unevenly executed
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 04 2, 2013
The author had about half an idea for a novel--an alternate universe fantasy world and one decent character (not the title character).The writing is clumsy and uneven, the characterization is weak, and 30% of the way through the book, I was still waiting to start caring about the title character.There's an odd fixation on the details of the woman's period, on bodily waste, and on the title character's eyes. (okay, they're strangely colored and weird people out when they see them, we get it, so the author didn't have to struggle so hard to find new and creative ways to describe these "pus" and "dog vomit" features).I paid $4.99 for this book--it wasn't worth half that. By the time I was halfway through it, I was tired of trying to wade through awkward, unpleasant prose and actually feeling like I needed  bath.
