Negative Positive
Title: Original premise but plot is missing.
Review: The hero is unusual, and potentially endearing. The heroine deliberately different, though less endearing--meant apparently to be redeemed in the course of the book. BUT....The pace is so SLOW, and the plot virtually non-existent. I used to love to read romance, but lately the books seem to drip long overblown blah-blah-blah paragraphs and pages and pages supposedly about emotion while nothing at all is going on, or is about to either. In some books, passages are endlessly repeated while plot is nowhere to be found. Ms. Hannah isn't quite as repetitive as some; but though I need characters I care about, even more I need to read a book that is going somewhere sometime somehow. The snail's pace lack of plot here, or one that could have been handled in about five chapters, just isn't what I want to read.I will say on a sentence-by-sentence level, Kristin Hannah is an okay writer; but THE ENCHANTMENT put me to sleep. I know this nice lady could do much better.
Is the review positive or negative?
