I think Fantasy and I need a long break. This is like the many books shelved in fantasy where I can’t raise it any higher than a three, and I barely remember anything from it. Again, unoriginal, bland and most importantly boring me to sleep.
I gave up by the hundredth page and began to skim read it. I can remember some stuff, but most of it is utterly useless apart from the setting in which I was right. It is Victorian England, and the Domain, Atlantis, whatever which I don’t have a clear picture about.
As for both the characters, I didn’t even bother. Iolanthe is perfect, she had that one weakness only to find out that she can control it. Also, she’s the chosen one. Titus is you know what, I don’t really care about his life. And both characters interactions flew over my head, and by the end I knew this simply wasn’t for me.
Their romance was relatively well thought out, seeing that Iolanthe doesn’t know Titus, and they really only got together at the end. But again, both characters fell on me and so, do I give a damn? No.
Simple and easy, I thought would serve the trick. But this failed in such a way that I’m considering taking a break from ya fantasy, seeing as the number of books I have read ends up either with a three or a two, and sometimes a one. And well, this just wasn’t one of them.
I have a feeling that I have grown out of the ya fantasy genre with so many books that I have either given up half way or probably cannot rate it higher than just a three.
But check it out, it may be just for you. But this isn’t for me. I guess I really should avoid anything that is too light, it just isn’t my thing.
