1/50 The Fox by Sherwood Smith
Finally finished this book. I actually started it last year (maybe a week after reading its predecessor Inda?) but didn't get into the full swing of it until this past week (mostly because I have to get it back to the library and therefore had to run through the almost 700 pages).
In a book this long, it shouldn't be all that surprising that a few parts were boring. Smith's writing is rather rough-- by which I mean, undecorated, not bad. Sometimes it doesn't hold one's attention as well other writing might. Still, loads of things happened to keep one's interest: I was very impressed with the ending of Part 1, and the ending of the actual book itself has me excited for Book 3 (it was also a cliff hanger, which explains some of my excitement). In complaining about the book's length (a blessing and curse, really) I almost took for granted the depth of Smith's world building-- which is fabulous, and the whole reason people should read this book (along with its predecessor Inda and eventual sequel King's Shield).
That's all for now. Reading List will be here
