21/2 stars reallyThis author does have books I like. This one, while well written, wasn’t my preference. It starts out with a lot of traveling I found boring with unfulfilled potential. I liked the main character and her immediate family, overall there was to many characters. It reads like a period royalty drama (a flat one) set in a stronghold, surrounding town, and elves. A bit of a who done it. The why isn’t really satisfying and who isn’t shocking. The only sensory output the book gets right...
Kingsolver Delivers AgainI greatly enjoyed this book. The characters are well written and interesting. The story moves along at a good pace and is quite engaging. I like how the main character, Diana, isn’t the most beautiful, the most talented and the most powerful in everything she does. She has to use her head to get out of tight situations and she relies on her fellow characters as well. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
I’ve read quite a few books from BR Kingsolver. They are not an author I root for, but until now I thought their books decent, if not necessarily good. Family ties was utterly flat, boring, confusing with cardboard characters (sll of whom seemed pretty damn stupid) and a mess of a plot. As this is the first review, I’ll avoid the one star, but heck it’s really that and not much more.Edited to add that as this isn’t anymore its only review I rated 1 star.
