A review by rgyger
The Naming by Alison Croggon

2.0

I could not finish this book. When I first picked it up, the opening sentence captured my attention. However the rest of the chapter and the next chapters soon became long winded information dump with little actual story. Like I said, I didn't finish, so perhaps the story gets better, but I can't get passed Cadvan's telling of everything that has happened in the entire history of the Bards while they walk through a valley, nor the over dramatic way that Maerad describes things. Or the amount of telling how she feels instead of showing.
