Title: Couldn't make it through 60 pages without nodding off
Review: Fire Logic by Laurie Marks is the first in the Elemental Logic series that received decent (4 to 4 1/2 stars) by numerous reviewers. I liked the title, and since I had no other books on my nightstand (gasp!) I picked it and the sequel Earth Logic up too. I force-fed myself the first 60 pages or so and finally gave up and would only give it two stars. I say two because it wasn't offensive or stupid, just uninteresting.It was so boring that I can't really explain much about it, other than it's shamelessly derivative of the Lord of the Rings writing style (which I hated in its original form). There is one main race that occupies a land, with some fringe races living on the outskirts who are the magic-wielders. Then a big bad war-like race comes in and takes over as the evil oppressors. One of the magic-wielder women is like a shaman or something. Blah blah blah.Don't waste your time.
Is the review positive or negative?
