Bright Shadow by Avi

1.0

Avi is hit or miss, probably because he cranks out so many books. A lot of them are great, and the less-than-great ones are usually just nondescript. But this book was so irritating. The main character was dull, indecisive, close to dumb, not likable. Books that are about people who are weak and frightened are usually about their discovering their inner power, even if only a little, even if only at the end. Morwenna is frightened, weak, and indecisive right up until the last page. If it had taken longer than an hour and a half to read, I'd probably be even more annoyed.
