Negative Positive
Title: K. Hoy
Review: I really wanted to love this novel - the premise has so much potential. Unfortunately, it was little more than fluff. The story in the hands of Elsa Watson is told rather than shown, giving the reader no opportunity to be immersed in the drama. While Ms. Watson is a capable enough writer, she does not know how to pull a reader in. In the hands of a more experienced novelist, Phillipa Gregory, for example, Maid Marian would have been incredible. I wanted a great summer novel. What I got instead was a ho-hum treatment that missed countless opportunities to be terrific.
