Now I know why this book has been on my shelf for 10 years...
It's incredibly boring!
It is 782 pages of complicated prose and affected dialogue that I'm just not willing to slog through. I'm sure I purchased it because it looked interesting and got pretty good reviews. I usually love a good fantasy - and this tale about 2 magicians set in Eighteenth Century England sounded like good fun. But I have too many books that I'm dying to get to. I simply don't want to waste any more time with this one. I'm checking it off my list -- and taking it post haste to The Friends of the Library!!!
***Whew -- off my shelf and my TBR list -- and most definitely off my mind!***
This is the best post of all. The relief of making an informed decision!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope I'm not seeing the beginning of a trend. But I don't think so. I just started reading "Radical" and it is fascinating. I think I'm all in on that one :-)
