Here, There Be Dragons by James A. Owen

2.0

It wasn't awful, but it was maybe a bit young for me (though stuffed full of classic literary references). It suffers from a strong case of 'tell, don't show': I didn't feel a strong connection to any of the characters because I rarely got much idea of what they were feeling during the events, I was always just told 'this happened, then that happened, then this person said that, and then this happened,' etc. It was often even hard to tell the three protagonists apart. I stuck with it for about 80 pages but then put it aside because it just didn't grab me.
