A review by orangerful
The Book of Blood and Shadow by Robin Wasserman

2.0

You will notice that while this book does not have as many pages as the later Harry Potters or some other YA series, most reviewers comment that it is TOO LONG and I have to agree. The story lost steam for me as soon as the setting switched from Nora's hometown to Prague. At first it seemed like it would be a quick read but I quickly became annoyed with reading the letters that Nora was translating and such.

I am just not into these kinds of stories, the Da Vinci Code books that are too clever for their own good. I prefer action and adventure. So this might be a better fit for a different kind of reader...but it certainly was not a good fit for me.
