Negative Positive
Title: It Seems I'm in the Minority....
Review: I always start my reviews off the same -- I don't write many reviews, but I felt the need with this book. I'm not really sure what the appeal of this book is to the general public. There is no real character development, the story just seems silly and the dialogue is painful. I am most upset by the dialogue - it is pedestrian and juvenile. The members of the Brotherhood are supposed to be hundreds of years old, seasoned and mature. You wouldn't know it by their vocabulary -- "hey baby", "right on brother". Give me Matthew Clairmont from A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness any day of the week.I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and that is what this is, just my opinion. It feels like Ms. Ward phoned this one in. But Dark Lover has earned a lot of good reviews, so as my title says, I am in the minority.That said, I will not be reading anything further by this author, as I could barely finish this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
