Customer Reviews

Overreaching
I loved the first book. The second book was a slight departure. This third book further extends into complex subjects far beyond a quaint fairie kingdom and the return of its beloved princess. This book seemed out of its genre to me, like the author tried to tackle much greater subject matter than Tania's story prepared you for. The dark, climactic drama that unfolds is nothing like the tone of any of the books before, and I think needed more depth and clarity to be believable.

What Was This?!
I'm sorry to say that I really hated this book. I was very disappointed as I liked the other books in the series. This book fell so short, and I hate not finishing books, so I literally had to force myself to finish it.

There were so many things that I didn't like about the book. First, the writing. It wasn't the best in the previous books, but in the Sorcerer King it was really bad. It was incredibly flat and boring. Once I got to the part of final battle it was okay, but after it was over, the writing went right back to being boring. There was nothing special about it. Nothing that made it stand out. Next, the plot. It was so rushed. It was almost like the author couldn't wait to finish the book because she was so tired of the story. But probably the worst thing was the characters. There was NO development at all! Especially Tania, who is supposed to be the main character, but was mentioned less and said less things than all of the other minor characters. Sometimes, Tania made absolutely NO sense at all! The characters are my favorite part of any story, if they are good characters, of course. But these ones just made me cringe because there was nothing to them. They had no personality, they were all the same.

Yikes, I really hate giving books reviews like this. And really wanted to like the book. I tried. But... it just wasn't good. It really wasn't.

Terrible let down

wow, this fell flat. It's total fluff, but compared to the first two it's not even a satisfactory enough fluff read for me. I skimmed the last 100 pages just to know how the ending went. It's a shame. The first book was ok, the second book was real interesting... this one? Not so much. I didn't even care about the relationship between Edric and Tania, and that's sad... when the fluffy romantic plotline fails to compel the reader what does that say? Atrocious ending makes for a mediocre read.
