A review by sil_the_lobster
Fury's Bridge by Brey Willows
3.0
I both liked and disliked the book and am therefore finding it hard to review. I much liked the author's writing; it's well-rounded, pleasant to read but not trying too hard (you know, polished to death), good tempo, good sentence melody (does this even make sense?). It's fun but not silly, deep but not exhausting, witty but not smart-arsed. Believable characters, reasonably paced plot.
And yet, I couldn't get into the story. It just didn't touch me. Mind you, this is not the author's fault - I did like her writing style (see above). I'm just not into paranormal stories although I do take a short trip into that genre here and there and I guess I expected something else. The story simply developed differently than I had thought and for some reason, that threw me off track. And somewhere along the way I lost interest and had to struggle to finish it. (And yes, I'd read the back cover plus some of the reviews.)
To cut it short: I won't be reading the rest of the series but I will keep following Brey Willows to make sure I'm right there as soon as she writes something else for she sure knows how to write!
Three out of five stars.
