A review by justjeanettelee
The King Slayer by Virginia Boecker
3.0
I am really undecided about this book. I honestly couldn't give a lengthy review on it even if I tried.
It followed smoothly from the first, and for that, I'll give it credit. However, there just seemed like there was something lacking from this book until the last 90 pages or so. Maybe it was the jauntiness of the action and then non-action. Maybe it was the plot. Maybe it was the repetitiveness. Maybe, just maybe it was something else entirely.
I have no idea why, but King Slayer doesn't really give me any lasting impression, other than it is wonderfully written, and I like the characters of Elizabeth, Fifer, and Schulyer.
I think there were some things that should have been left well alone.
Also, I don't really remember how JohnxElizabeth came about, but in this instalment, it definitely seems more like an instalove situation.
I feel it was neither better or worse than the first book. Definitely on par.
