review 1: Stormswept reviewStormswept is... interesting. It had an exciting storyline and some fast paced scenes which kept me hooked and for the most part; I enjoyed reading it very much, so please don't let what I'm about to write put you off too much. It was written well but at sometimes I didn't like how it was written because I got confused with the information about things that I'd read. I'm assuming this is what made the end, for me, slightly disappointing. I don't know if I expected it to end differently but the end was just a bit mundane for me. I also found some of the characters rather annoying, Jenna for instance; I couldn't understand what she was on about most of the time. I think she was trying to be a goody goody, but it was just flat out irritating and I felt as ... moreif I/Morveren couldn't trust her. Even though there were a lot of aspects of the book I didn't like, I may be buying another one from the series (apparently this is the fifth book in the ingo series but I didn't know that until someone told me), because it was a good book and I am interested to read what happened in the previous books.
review 2: Getting straight to the point, Stormswept was just OK for me. It wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either. I did not like this as much as the other four books in the Ingo series. The ending in Crossing of Ingo was one of my favs so far. I was hoping for more of what I read in those for books but I was kinda disappointed. When I finished this book, I felt lost. I felt as if I read a lot and yet understood nothing. There was not enough of character development in Stormswept (for me). There was not enough of Ingo. I somehow couldn't really understand the actions of Jenna & Morveren. The story is supposed to be connected with Morveren's discovery of Malin but I didn't really like it. It's no so much of the idea but the way the whole story happened. I couldn't connect with any of the characters. Bran was even more infuriating. Who is he? Why is he there? He is both the bad guy & the good guy. So which is he? Why did he lead his dad to Malin? Why did he tried to stop his dad later? Why, why, why, that's all I was thinking when I read the book. There wasn't enough to keep me reading. The reason that I didn't just drop it halfway was because I loved the Ingo series so much that I just want to know if Stormswept is anything like it. But it turned out that it just wasn't as great as the previous books. less
