wingedcreature 's review for:
Tiger's Curse
by Colleen Houck
The cover drew me in, as did the premise. The book, however, was just okay.
Here's what I loved about Tiger's Curse. I loved the mythology aspect and how well it was incorporated into the story. Not only that, but it focused on Indian mythology, which was a nice change from the Greek/Roman mythology you tend to see. I also loved that Kelsey traveled all over India to figure everything out.
As for what I didn't like...I just didn't like the characters. It was hard to believe that Ren, Kishan, and Mr. Kadam were a few hundred years old. And Kelsey seemed a little more mature than I expected. I didn't find them particularly interesting, and by the end of the novel, I was just irritated with them, and I don't particularly care about what happens to them.
I would rate it at 2 stars out of 5. The mythology was interesting but the characters weren't.
