Negative Positive
Title: Slow and dull
Review: I have enjoyed this author's collaborations with Patricia Wrede, so I decided to read her solo work. After having this recommended several times over the last year, I finally bought it. I was very disappointed. I like action, in reasonable places and amounts, and this book had almost none. The main character is to learn magic and save the world, and somehow,it still reads like a very dull diary. Even in the thick of the most pivotal action in the story, the tone is very staid and matter of fact."And then I did this, and then he did that, and then I said..."
