Book Review: Boring - Couldn't Finish It
Summary: 2 Stars
It is rare the book I can't finish, but by the time I reached page 162 of this 264 page book, I simply could not force myself any further.
This might have been a reasonably good short story, but there definitely was not enough plot for a book. So it is quite repetitive in many places. When the character experiences something, then she discusses it with another character, then it has to be discussed yet again with between some other characters, until we've been told about the event at least three times.
The back cover description of the book is highly misleading.
I expected a story about an adult woman who was dreaming about a woman from the past, whom she would eventually meet, and that they would be lesbian lovers and soul-mates.
What we get for a main character is a whiny, immature 17 year old girl, her concerned, boring parents and her saintly 10 year old brother.
The girl, Jesse, goes through a time portal and becomes involved in trying to solve the problem of a very small group of Druids. I say small, because only 3 of the Druids are ever mentioned.
The Druids are fearing an attack by the Romans and want information about what happens, so maybe they can work around it somehow.
The problem could have been solved in about 10 minutes, but the story dawdles along without going anywhere in particular.
Why the author chose to have her main character so young I cannot imagine. I thought when I purchased the book that it was for adults. This 17 year old was one of the most annoying characters I've encountered in fiction in some time.
I understand this is a series. I certainly won't be continuing the story.
