The City in the Lake by Rachel Neumeier

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I decided to read this one after seeing the enthusiastic review on The Book Smugglers. It's a quick read but I don't know if I'm as excited about this one. It is a more subtle and rich story which I can appreciate, but I didn't feel the character development was quite on par with the rest. It was playful and energetic storytelling at times, but slow and meandering at others and I never really found my stride as a reader. Recommended for fans of quiet, lyrical fantasy, but I can see others struggling to enjoy it.

I also have this author's Griffin Mage series on my TBR-pile. I'm looking forward to reading more this author has to offer.
