The Oracle of Maracoor by Gregory Maguire
2.0
I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway. It is an Advance Reader's Edition.
I was just about to give up on the book on page 55ish and it caught more of my attention, so I kept reading. Up until this point, I found my attention kept wandering. and had to reread paragraphs because I found myself confused. In addition, there were names that were not only not English names, but the spelling of them (example: Bvasil) made it less fluid to read. There was also the use of "quawking" to refer to a character that was a goose speaking. The first time I saw it, I thought perhaps it was a typo, but no, that is how it was spelled every time. Also, this was Volume Two of a series and perhaps if I had read the first book, I would have had less confusion.
I've enjoyed other books by Gregory Maguire much more.
