zshakespear 's review for:
Age of Myth
by Michael J. Sullivan
Rounded up from 2.5 stars.
I found the central plot of this book very intriguing; who wouldn't love a mystery about a demonic bear? I wasn't a huge fan of how this narrative was embedded within a larger epic fantasy for the simple reason that the chosen one was almost completely unnecessary to everything having to do with the bear. Also, his relationship with the leading lady has 0 substance, feeling as though it is only there to check a romantic subplot off the list of required elements. It was kind of gross for the initial disinterest of the widow to shift because she found out her late husband had an affair.
My final critique is that the dialog is horrendous. Everyone sounds the same and the voice doesn't match the bronze age setting.
So why rate it at 2.5? I loved watching the mystery unravel as all the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. Will I read the next book? If I can find it at my library, sure.
