Title: Just Too Boring
Product review: I am a big Bertrice Small fan, but the quality of her books is slipping, particularly noticeable with this latest book. I found myself skimming over large hunks of text that were either descriptions of historical events or the inevitable and prolonged descriptions of what the characters ate or what they were wearing. Another annoying habit the author has is to have her characters tell other characters about events that have been described earlier in the book. So you read about the event and then you have to suffer through repeat descriptions of the same event as a character relays it to others. This, of course is not really necessary, and seems too much like a device to fill pages, as opposed to telling a story or developing relationships.
