very put-downable
The story itself is not very original. If I have to give it a score, it'll be a 1 out of 5. It smacks too much like a female Harry Dresden by Jim Butcher. Or, the same tattooed protagonist in Mercy Thompson by Patricia Briggs. Originality? Hardly. But what makes me buy Jim Butcher and Patricia Briggs again and again even if their stories are similar too? It's the masterpiece storytelling quality! However this book's storytelling quality is only about a 2 out of 5. Not very compelling at all. Plus the protagonist is just a shade this side of stupid. About one third into the book and I just know who our protagonist's father is. And guess what, I was right. It sort of deflates the suspense effect. The cover art is not bad. I would give it a 4 out of 5. The lightning and the wand appeals to the fantasy buff in me. So, what have we got? A not very compelling storytelling quality, a story which is not very original at all and predictable to boot but good cover. Overall, this book is a 2 out of 5. Borrow from the library rather than waste your money buying it. by Cherry
