Love/Hate Relationship with this Novel

I both like and hate this book. I like the storyline it has great potential but it fell flat for me. Here's why: The point of view jumped around way too much. I thought the idea of changing point of view was good except the execution sucked. It went from one to another so hard I got whiplash and it kind of takes you out of the story trying to figure out who's part of the story you're following. The second thing that stuffed it up was the way it was written. I get that the people in it are kids they're all 18 and under but the way they thought was painful. I mean they crawl out of a hole in the damn ground all bloodied and totally f**ked up and she's worried about her hair? F**k off with that s**t. I don't care how old you are there's no way you'd be worried about that type of crap at that point. It's so shallow it hurts. The last thing is, wtf is with Cassie getting all sappy over Ben? The guy you're sort of dating might be dead and Ben kisses you and you get all mushy about it? Are you f**king kidding me? I'm sorry but you'd have a bullet in your head if it were me. I'm going to give the rest of the series a chance but at this point I'm not hopeful....

This novel is often hilarious. It makes fun of the SF/F genre but can still tell an engaging story. (0 more)

It is my opinion that the author got lost in the weeds near the end of the novel. (0 more)

Strong Start ...

Philip Murdstone enlists the help of Pocket Wayfair, a sorcerer's assistant from another realm, to help him write a trilogy of high phantasy. Things become a bit entangled when Pocket comes around to collect his due.
