Media Roll Call
Apr. 7th, 2013 08:50 pm11) A Reluctant Proposal by Violet Hamilton - Oh, good lord, what a mess. As a series romance novel, I didn't have high expectations but this went beyond a silly plot and tepid characters and into downright objectionable writing techniques. The POV was non-existent... Or rather it was far too much around. It wasn't omniscient. It was just lazy and would go into everyone's heads randomly. Sometimes within the span of paragraphs. But it was a full POV switch. Then there was the lack of chemistry, character development... Oh, this was pure masochism on my part.
12) A Sudden Wild Magic by Diana Wynne Jones - Hm. Not a dud like the previous book but let's just say it took me far too long to get through it. Partially this was a pacing problem; it's never good when all the action seems concentrated in the last 75 pages and it's over 400 total. Mostly, though, I think it was because I couldn't give a damn about any of the characters. In fact, some of them I actively disliked. It was a little hard, really. I usually like DWJ.
