Title: Failed to hook me
Product review: I read the previous book in this series, Maire, and while I definitely wasn't impressed (I gave it a weak three stars) I did decide to give the author one more try.Unfortunately I only made it through about 30 pages of Riona. The book was bogged down (no pun intended) by an overabundance of long, descriptive, expository passages. There wasn't enough dialogue or anything really happening for me to even remember what was supposed to be happening. I felt like I was reading more of a dissertation on ancient Irish culture than an actual story. Perhaps it is because I just finished an excellent series of fast-paced, action-driven books. Or perhaps it is just that I am extra tired this evening. Whatever the case, Riona utterly failed to hook me enough to make me want to read past the first 30 pages. Given that I wasn't impressed with this author's previous book, I figured this one wouldn't get any better and so would be a waste of my time for me to read further.
