The Dark Portal by Robin Jarvis

1.0

I gave up on this book after about 25 pages. It started out OK, but then quickly morphed into a British fantasy with way too many Britishims for my taste. Too much cutesy talk, and not enough sustained action. The cover is really cool and that drew me in. Sometimes I think Brits are more patient, or they like the conversational stuff better than Americans. The conversation to me didn't set anything up, and when I have more books to read than time, I decided not to waste anymore. Too bad, I was looking forward to this book. Oh well..
