Title: nap-time reading
Review: This is my first Tamora Pierce book...and probably my last. It starts out great. A shipwreck. A trial. Mysterious weather patterns. And a hopelessly trapped girl. But chapter by chapter the book get more and more boring. The conflict starts to feel tacked on instead of exciting. And I swear that half of this book is about the main characters learning proper meditation techniques. Now I don't need all my fantasy to have epic battle against evil overlords, but I need some conflict. Even what slim inner conflicts the characters have in treated with the depth of a puppet show, and the social interactions are no better.Read the first chapter. Maybe the second. Then stop. There's nothing worth reading after that.
