Apr. 23rd, 2012 11:27 pmdear flist, I would like your opinion on this book.
I started reading and then about forty pages I finally reached my limit of LOLNO and put it down. And now I wonder if maybe this is overreaction - maybe this is just fantasy convention I have missed? (I have read tons of children's and young adult fantasy but very little adult fantasy).
From Ian Irvine's A Shadow on the Glass. With the most relevant examples.
( Prepare for book. )
What do you think? I am really not inclined to read more...it sounds like it will be a lot more of this. Some parts are good, and then there are patches of oddly modern speech ("he felt let down" in one memorable bit) and - well!
Is this just convention? Am I missing something?
