A review by micrummey
The Summon Stone by Ian Irvine
1.0
This was a book chosen for me through a scheme by my local library during lockdown. I am the wrong type of person to review a book of this type as I don't really like fantasy especially in worlds built by the author.
This is a quest novel and it does take a long time for the quest to get going. They were too many characters but I sort of guessed this before I started reading due to a list of characters at the back.
An author should not have to do this.
I found great chunks of the novel monotonous but on occasion would come across a gripping scene or an engaging fight scene. This proved the author can write and I have no doubt some readers of fantasy will enjoy this.
It's not for me and I am not tempted by other books in the series.
