mmasondcroz 's review for:
The Glittering Court
by Richelle Mead
At times this story really dragged. There were many interesting aspects -- the idea of colonization from a smaller (area) nation towards an "undiscovered" continent and the wild west. The technology all works together, but man there is a lot of description about dresses and other fineries that just could easily be cut out. I'm not just saying this because I'm a man ... these sections just droned on and on.
There was a good plot, the characters were believable and interesting -- I really wanted to learn more about the other two main character girls (maybe the subsequent books?). It leaves off at an exciting point for a sequel that is intriguing enough to make me think I'll keep reading. However, this first offering also seemed a little shallow (depth wise) and almost hastily put together.
I will read the book #2 before deciding on the overall series, but I cannot sit here and say this first book made a 100% positive impression. It was positive enough to continue reading, but honestly, it was a debate.
