A review by lost_luna
The Weirdstone of Brisingamen by Alan Garner
3.0
Somewhere around a 3.5 stars.
I really enjoyed the plot of this book, it was reminiscent of lord of the rings or the day the mountain moved by Rennie McOwan.
The main reasons I didn't rate it higher was due to the language used and the ending. I feel the book ended in the middle of the story rather than at the end and this bothered me. I'm aware that this is a series but still the story could have ended at a better point. Also, as the language was very west country/Welsh sounding it took me a lot longer to get into the story as I struggled with understanding half of it. Items in the book also have these west country style names so I was getting everything muddled (I think this says more about me than the book though).
All in all, it wasn't spectacular but an enjoyable read none the less and I may carry on with the series one day.
