Review of 'Love, Lies, and Hocus Pocus' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Abandoned. I just can't with this apparently thriving category of over-described possibly wish-fulfillment or whatever. I think more work went into this than some, it gave me a sense of craftsmanship and care, but not always in a good way.
Way too much description, especially of magic stuff, as if describing one's actions to a persnickety dungeon master with a reputation for catching players in small errors. Irritating heroine
Three stars is generous. Maybe I'll pick it up another time. And I can't help but wonder if I'd have managed to breeze through it in paperback, where I can read, skim, and flip faster than with an ebook.
