Title: I Didn't Know Magic Could Be So Boring!!
Review: I only read about half of this book which still came out to 400 pages. The story drags along worse than any other book I have read. I was confused by all the praise. Perhaps the readers who liked it are more history rather than fantasy readers. It dragged along and even when magic did occur it was described in such a mater of fact manner that it had no impact. The Characters really had no major redeeming characters and after one of the characters had a loved one die clearly by magic they did nothing about it.The part of the book that had so much to work with regarding the Napoleonic Wars could have been so exciting but was another event to be ticked off in the chapters.If you are used to more fast paced or even remotely exciting fiction DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. If you like stories that are well researched alternative histories where the characters are secondary to the setting you might like this book. Overall: Don't waste your time.
