Rogue & Royal: A 17th Century Tale of British… par Alan S. Blood
Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways.
Sigh.... as someone who took a degree in history and lived in Ireland for a time, I was expecting a bit more from this book because of the credentials of the author. There wasn't anything special or different about the characters, and it was a long book to get through. Things were predictable, even without having the history background. I had higher hopes.

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
I loved the story concept, but just felt it was lacking some. Being a short story sometimes the authors feel they need to overlook some details, but this one could use more.

Was this really a finished product, or a proof copy? There are several grammatical and punctuation errors. As other reviewers have said it is really a short story and I thought there were too many episodes packed into it. It needs more detail and development to be convincing. It's unevenly paced, as though the author didn't know how to finish it and rushed the ending. The supernatural elements come across as confusing rather than mysterious or spooky.… (plus d'informations)
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.I did enjoy the book for what it was. The book skipped around or jumped ahead a bit that I thought information was left out. I guess I wanted more detail that was not needed for a children's book.
