belw 's review for:

Gameboard of the Gods by Richelle Mead
3.0

i was dubious about this one. alot of people have read it and hated it. i needed to keep an open mind going in. that being said - i can see why people haven't liked it - the world and character building is so heavy in this book, right til the end. it's hard slog to get through but the storyline was enough to keep me interested and the characters developed nicely as well. i did have some difficultly with the terms but Richelle Meade has a nice glossary on her webiste (why it wasn't included in the book - i don't know!). i'll keep going to see what happens with this series and see if the writing improves.
