jeslyncat 's review for:

The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead

3.0

---

This book is all over the place and dreadfully slow, but I liked the premise. I also really liked the main character, and most of the side characters, although most felt a little too surface level. It is evident that this is a companion series, and the wholes that leaves can't be ignored. I won't rant about the classification of the book because I can see how it could be marketed as a very,very low fantasy. It's the world building that lacked, with an over reliance on American-British history, but it's not the first time I've read something that's the same way. People write what they know. I miss Mead's kick butt heroines of her past books, and think we saw peeks of that, but again, on a surface level only.
