Title: Terrible. Just terrible.
Review: I only got about 30 or 40 pages in. This was terrible. Honestly, it was *terrible*. The characters are cardboard and unbelievable, and my God, the dialogue! I have never in my life heard children that speak like this! I was actually sitting there flailing around angrily at how stiff and inexplicably unbelievable the dialogue was, yelling "HAVE YOU EVEN EVER SPOKEN TO A TEENAGER." Plus, a whole high school all excited about a folk rock band with a medieval schtick coming to town? I don't know, maybe there are places where that would happen, and I've just never encountered it, but I found it hard to believe. (Let's not even get into how embarrassing I found that first rock show scene. I gave up soon after that.)I was surprised by how awful this was, considering I've read a couple of Yolen's works before and thought them pretty decent.
