Review title: Shallow Characters. Could Not Get Past First Chapter
Product review: For some reason, Amazon links the author Robin Hobb (of "Assassin's Apprentice") with Elizabeth Haydon. Intrigued, I decided to check out "Rhapsody : Child of Blood".Unfortunately, after the first chapter of the book, I was groaning in disgust. There is no depth of character, nor do there seem to be any plausible situations. In the first few pages, the main character is transported in time. Somehow, he just accepts this. It is as if the author does not care to go into detail.The hero then meets a breathtakingly beautiful, innocent and perfect girl. He realizes that this is his soulmate. They immediately fall in love. They have sex. (They are 14.) They become separated. End chapter one. It's that simple.I presume that the rest of the story details their struggles to find each other again. However, I could not stomach any more of this cheesy drivel.
