I Love This Book
| Author's Rating: |
|
Pros: Stirring, emotional, everyone can relate. Strong action, great in-between. Eloquent use of description.
Cons: Some readers may be turned off by higher level, but easy if read slowly
Bottom Line:
I like the Blue Sword because of the (easy-to-understand) level of higher writing, and how many different types of stories it is.
