The Scent of Shadows by Vicki Pettersson

2.0

This book started out with some interesting ideas and character development but fizzled quickly. In the first few chapters we are introduced to Joanna who is coming of age in a supernatural way. Then, she hides out in a sanctuary for nearly the entire remainder of the book! Basically talking incomprehensible mytho-babble and contemplating her navel. I couldn't even finish the book - I was so bored by the time she finally planned to face the bad guys that I didn't even care how `the big battle' turned out and I just closed the book without reading it.
