Stolen? My boredom was overwhelming!December 7, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have always been a huge VVV fan ever since I first read Companions of the Night. Since then the only book I hated was The Book of Mordred - because it was morbid and boring.
I waited for this novel in great anticipation as the story seemed interesting - A girl is found wandering in the forest and can't remember a thing about who she is or where she came from. Mix in an old witch that no one likes and this should have been a quick, enjoyable evening read...but it wasn't.
Maybe it is because I've read so many of VVV's books, but I had the identity of Isabelle worked out at the beginning of the second chapter - and haven't bothered to read the rest.
VVV's books are normally action-packed and well paced - this one is dull and boring - I didn't care a hoot about Isabelle and much less about her journey of self discovery.
The only nice thing I can say is that it has a nice cover - the content just isn't there and I am so disappointed I wasted my money.
