Title: The Pointless Book
Product review: This book was so boring. The novel is mainly character driven, and that is good for some, but nothing exciting happens. Yes, she confronts a wizard and dragon, but there is no reason for it. Not to mention that Ms. McKinley seems to have forgotten how to write after the Blue Sword. Deerskin was awful too, but back to the subject, Aerin is not a likable character. I don't know why, but it was impossible to connect with her. Ms. McKinely went on for pages stating and restating how awful Aerin's life was, when those pages would have better been spent of plot development. Two big events carry the entire novel. Other than that, it is just Aerin sitting around doing nothing. She for no reason decides to start killing dragons. There was not much to Aerin, she was a two dimensional character despite McKinely's attempts to bore us stupid with about 5 chapters that have nothing to do with the plot except to let us know over and over again that Aerin had a miserable life as a princess.
