schokti 's review for:
Ink and Steel
by Elizabeth Bear
This book holds true the saying "do not judge a book by it's cover" as the cover seems to indicate a story that has nothing to do with this book. A story of Christopher Marley & William Shakespeare, where the two don't understand (and neither did I as the reader) where the magic came from until the last few chapters.
I found the writing tedious, the characters flat, and parts in the book completely unnecessary. The only thing that kept me reading was the idea that so much more could be done with the premise. I kept hoping the author would take a leap and make it... more. I will not be reading this book again, nor will I likely recommend it to anyone.
