A review by kailey_luminouslibro
The First Two Lives of Lukas-Kasha by Lloyd Alexander

2.0

This author always has really exciting and well-organized plots with plenty of action and mystery and adventure and plot twists! However, his characters are not well-developed, and they always seem very wooden, almost robotic. He is terrible about "telling" instead of "showing." I don't want you to TELL me that these two characters annoy each other. SHOW me that they are annoyed through their dialogue and their actions. Don't TELL me that these two became friends, and then just jump into the rest of the plot. SHOW me why they became friends, and how they started to trust each other, or how they connected through some shared experience. This is just lazy writing.
