I was extremely excited to dig into the next chapter of the Queen Betsy series.
I was on Amazon.com and noticed there were A LOT of negative reviews. Normally before I read a new book I've check it out on Amazon and read a couple of good reviews (none with spoilers though) and a couple of negative. I'm not sure why I do this. Maybe just to get any idea of what to expect.
I will say that overall I really do like the Queen Betsy series. This book, I did not like. I think a lot of it was because I was confused half the time (some of the sentences I really just couldn't follow or put into context). The idea behind the book, once I got through it, was really good. Time traveling with the devils daughter and Betsy 'fixing' things in the past to create a better future. Sounds like a great book and in parts it was good. We traveled through distant past and recent past with Betsy and Laura. However, by the end I was even more confused.. maybe confused isn't the best word.. maybe it is... than I was to begin with. We end with the future Betsy and Laura. Granted the ending makes me want to know what happens next but jeez this is a 1000 years in the future. So does the next book gloss over the 1000 years or do we end up back where we were with no mention on what the heck happened at this end of this book?
It leaves me with more questions than answers and almost irritated enough to not want to pick up the next book (though I know I will because I can't leave it at this.)
If you are anything like me and would be more annoyed by not reading it than reading a semi bad book.. then go to the library and get it. If you can stand to pass up a book in a series until a better book comes along.. then this would be the one to skip.
Better luck next to MaryJanice. Hopefully her next book out in the Jennifer Scales series does much better!
