The Seer and the Sword by Victoria Hanley
Totally flat - a potentially interesting story rendered dull by the author's failure to show rather than tell.
Victoria Hanley is one of my favorite authors, but the end of this book is torturous. I'm not fond of cliffhangers, and the fact that Victoria Hanley has said before that writing a first draft is like 'clawing my way through solid rock using only my fingernails' makes me worry about how long the next book is going to take to come out.
I really wish that I could go back to the first time I read this book and write a review, but that was before I wrote reviews. Now I've read it so many times I don't even know where to begin or what to write. This book is the only one that rivals Harry Potter with the number of times that I've read it, so I highly suggest that you read it.
