Negative Positive
Title: sketchy
Review: A pity that such an original setting -British early Middle Ages-, a plot with good potential and Mr Keegan's great skill should be wasted with such a light heart.Let us skip the ridiculous art cover, there are still so many typos as to disturb even comprehension and the blame of this belongs mostly to Gay Men's Press.Mr Keegan though shares just as much of the blame.In most of the pages we are faced with what looks like a summary of the story: in a third person narrative the POV shifts constantly with each paragraph and quite often even within the paragraph leading to incredible confusion.The same facts are often repeated, often with amendments that contraddict what has already been said half a page above. This leads to many inconsistencies in plot events, characterizations and in minor but disturbing details such as people's looks.Then, suddenly, we are faced with nearly perfect pages that hint at Mr Keegan's undoubted abilities and leave the reader with a bitter aftertaste.
