A review by rjsthumbelina
The Last Changeling by Chelsea Pitcher
3.0
I enjoyed the overall premise of this book very much. I like the idea of a revolution in faerie, and I liked the characters. I will read the next book to find out what happens.
I had a few problems with the writing style. one was the way Elora spoke. Sometimes she sounded almost normal, and other times she sounded like a character out of Shakespeare. If you're going to give a dialect to a character, as an author, you have to stick with it. I also hated how she would sometimes say things in conversations with people (especially Taylor) that should have made them question the back story she had given and start to think there was something going on, but no one suspected a thing.
I couldn't stand how stereotypical most of the characters were. even the things that they did to subvert expectations were stereotypical.
I'm all for a cliffhanger ending, to an extent. But the last 50 or so pages of this novel caused a lot of new questions and didn't answer any, which is frustrating to a reader.
I received a digital copy from Netgalley and the publisher to revew. this did not affect my review in any way.
