Katie MacAlister

I enjoyed this one initially (the first half) but in the end I was a bit disappointed.
The jokes made me laugh out loud here and there but it intruded on more serious situations that just didn't need any tension release.
Especially the furry sidekick sometimes got me good with unexpected comments but most other times just was incredibly anoying and obnoxious and his joke comments felt very forced.
The characters played way too much into their stereotypes and not in an intentionally humerous manner either making it hard to take anything serious.
There is no character development whatsoever either.
Towards the end it felt like just a buch of cartoon characters thrown onto a stage to play out some silly inconsequential episode that will be void for the next episode.
This book also suffers from quite a lot of inconsistencies regarding the magic as well as other things that I might have been able to willingly overlook but together with all the other issues it just didn't work in the end.
If you like coarse and sometimes misplaced humor and can live without very serious and believable characters this might be enjoyable to you.… (mer)
