A review by lchma
Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho
3.0
This book had so much potential and I loved elements of it, but it basically tried to cover too many topics through the eyes of a character I simply found too dull to connect with. The secondary (but clearly the more important) character was at least vibrant and satisfyingly driven so made it readable, and the second half definitely picked up the pace.
Also I found the Regency lexical setting awkward and lacked the realistic flow of authors such as Georgette Heyer (of course) or even Amanda Quick.
This all said, I am intrigued with the story and look forward to seeing more of this author - with such a range of interests and fascinating plotting I have high hopes that with the next book the pacing, language and characterisation will engage me much more.
