The Fool's Tale by Nicole Galland

3.0

I wanted to love this book, and I almost did. When I finished it I was on a roller coaster of emotions, and I couldn't wait to tell my husband about it. The thing is, I was able to give him the entire basic plot in a span of about 1 minute. The fact that I was able to take something that had originally captivated me and whittle it down to a 1 minute description left me feeling a little deflated - especially considering the amount of time I dev oted to reading the book. I loved the characters and the setting, and the end of the story left me with a lump in my throat. Maybe I'm used to overly complex plots like Diana Gabaldon's novels. Maybe my own preconceived notions got in the way of a story that was intended to be primarily driven by the emotional development of the character. But in the end I was left wanting a little more action. Still, this is definitely a worthwhile read!
