Spindle's End by Robin McKinley
2.0

I felt as though the overall story was lost due to how long-winded the writing is. It’s almost as if the author had a limit on the amount of periods she was allowed to use, but was given a surplus of commas, parentheses, and semicolons. I’m still trying to understand why one sentence required ten commas. No, that is not an exaggeration. If you prefer more dialogue than narration, I’d steer clear of this book.

The characters didn’t really grow throughout the story, unless you count Rosie’s literal growth from infant to adult. The world building was good. I feel the best part of this book was the talking animals.
