A review by haukka
The Court of the Midnight King by Freda Warrington

1.0

I sort of hate this books already: it would be tolerable in a dull and "been there before" sort of way if it wasn't for the constant and rather grossly unnecessary flashbacks/flashforwards to the apparent author in their awkward and grotesque nerdy college years having waking sexual fantasies about King Richard. I get the idea right away that she is totally crushing on this king, but to draw it out of the fiction-fantasy world to write about the actual ghost of King Richard coming to life and hovering over her dorm bed to seduce her is not only blatantly unnecessary but draws away from the story which is written in a sort of confusing present and past scenerio. Thus far I would recommend it to nobody. I'm only a quarter through and am really hoping those creepy flashbacks cease and there is more plot developpement.
