A review by amyappy
Westmark by Lloyd Alexander
3.0
For ENG 540.
I remember really liking Lloyd Alexander, so I had high hopes for this one. It was enjoyable, but the plot felt a teensy bit too neat. (The basic premise/plot twist of the story feels both completely obvious and slightly improbable at the same time...) It's also quite glaringly just the first part of a series, and I felt frustrated at the end when I didn't get a real resolution. It does bring up some interesting questions about power, law, and politics, and Alexander's narrative voice is dry and rather amusing. I'll probably have to dig up the rest of this series somehow/where/when.
