A review by llamaguana
Year of the Griffin by Diana Wynne Jones
1.0
I usually love Diana Wynne Jones' books, but I could not eyeroll hard enough while trying to get through this book. Perhaps I would have enjoyed it more if I had read it when I was 12.
I struggled to figure out the purpose of this book. It sort of felt like fanfiction. All the main(?) characters conveniently became best friends immediately, seemed to talk in unison, all paired off, and the character development seemed halfassed. Each character was conveniently gifted with a particular talent so when they worked together they achieved everything. They all conveniently served a significant purpose for fixing the post-Chesney Tours world.
