Mighty Quill
by Emmaline Strange
Neat concept but the execution was a hot hot mess.
I grabbed this book because I wanted to read the second because the cover is beautiful. I still am, despite this being yet another 2023 fail.
There is some serious editing that needs to happen. It needed to be about 200 pages shorter.
Also, I’m not sure why authors give away to the reader who done it in a who done it book, but when I’ve figured out exactly what’s happening with who at 20% while the characters act like oblivious idiots through the rest of the book… it makes me not want to read. But I did. For days. I’m not really sure why, I guess there were parts of the plot I wanted to see completed. But by the end I was too distracted by how messy the writing is.
Attempting the second and if it’s just as bad, shelving this author.
