Book Reviews of Sea Dragon Heir
Book Review: Great style, terrible message
Summary: 4 Stars
In the Sea Dragon Heir I glanced through the book and was quickly seduced by the writing style of the author. The description and language used by Constatine was opulent, it filled every moment of the story and left an atmosphere as thick as a smoking room's interior.
It was to my great disappointment that I found on finishing the book... I really didn't like most of the characters. In fact, some of the ones I enjoyed at first became those I disliked the most. I read on, her wonderful writing style like the sweet nothings of a lover, as I was disappointed again and again by the actions of the characters.
There are books with no "heroes" that are interesting stories in their own right, in which the events themselves intrigue. Then there are stories to which you become apathetic to the drives and whims of the characters themselves, and unfortunately this book falls in that category.
I finished this series, hoping to see some wonderful resolution to the many events that begin in this book. There was none - if anything, purpose and meaning flop about like a fish out of water. However, I did find one constant throughout the course of the series. One message that Storm Constantine seemed to want to convey, and one that I didn't agree on.
"It is only those people who have been emotionally and psychologically scarred in a way that would leave modern people in an institution are strong enough to persevere and in the end become victorious." Now, that's summing it up in my own words, but it's pretty plain that's the author's point. And I just can't swallow that no matter how strong my suspension of disbelief.
