Received my first reads copy and will read it very shortly!
Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing.very difficult to read... I have to admit that I was unable to finish the story. I did hand it to my 12 year old son to try.. but he didn't like it either.
Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing.Have made several attempts to read this book, but just can't seem to get past the forest at the beginning. Will keep trying as I am determined to get through it and will return to review it once I have as I am always grateful to receive an advanced copy and would like to give the author my best effort.
Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing.The Hunt for the Eye of Ogin is Patrick Doud's first novel. From a purely technical standpoint, the novel is solid: the language is descriptive and there are no egregious grammatical errors. On the plot side of things the story is...generic. It feels as though someone gave Doud two checklists: things to make a good juvenile/YA novel and things every epic fantasy novel should strive to include (this second list cribbed heavily from the works of Tolkien). And Doud seems to dutifully follow these lists.
The unfortunate end result is that the story, pretty descriptions and turns of phrase notwithstanding, is not really very engaging. It begins by throwing as many "look, I'm a fantasy novel!!" things out as possible, but without giving a coherent structure. Many of the names of characters and places are very similar to one another, which adds a level of confusion and frustration. And the level of "coincidence" is far higher than I really care to have in my fantasy stories.… (mais)
