A review by melaniebopp
Dragon's Eye by Lexi Ander
2.0
I've tried, and I think this is the last of this author I'm going to read. I love the concept of the series, and gave it a B- on All About Romance earlier this year, but yeah, I'm done now.
Things I have a problem with:
There is no sense of time passing, in both this book and the previous one. But there's still a lot of time passing. It's confusing.
There's so much introspection going on that I got honestly got kinda bored. The moments of action aren't very exciting, and the rest is talking about what has happened, what will happen, and all the feelings. There's no balance.
The names of the gods and goddesses, along with the cultural references, are so incredibly confusing. I like that the series takes its influence from the Middle East (and Egypt, to some extent), but I have no idea who or what we're talking about half the time.
There are so many loose ends, between this and the previous stories, that I could make a fringe skirt. Or a 20s flapper dress.
Overall, the story still isn't bad, but it really doesn't work for me anymore. It's sad. I wanted it to.
2 out of 5 stars. The basics are good, but between the pacing and the writing, I'm just "eh."
