Negative Positive
Title: sophmorish
Review: so disappointed to write this review, as i was a rabid fan of the first two trilogies.makes me wonder if they were any good after all, or if i just had simple tastes back in middle and high school.first of all, enough with the pretend vocabulary. i always felt as though mr donaldson wrote with a thesaurus handy.there's something wrong when the same few odd words keep showing up. like "eldritch." how can eldritch need to beused more than once, let alone like five times. an "eldritch tarn." really? really? yikes, i used to write like that in 7thgrade when i thought that would impress people. then i grew up.and the story. whatever there is of it. lame.characters: flat and lame. Anele just an anagram of Elena. Really? That's not cheesy to you- that seemed clever?Oh, boy, it's hard to see a writer lose his talent and press on anyway. I give this two stars, and one of them is fornostalgia.
Is the review positive or negative?
