Alyzon Whitestarr by Isobelle Carmody

3.0

I love Isobelle Carmody's writing, but this disappointed me. Maybe the mood I'm in (tonsillitis and school holidays), maybe I've read too many beautifully written books lately, but the quality of the writing lets this idea down. The Obernewtyn Chronicles are tremendous fun - but I suspect part of the trouble with Alyzon Whitestarr is that it is set in our world, and hence our normal rules apply. So gaps in the plot become a serious issue. I did enjoy reading this, but I didn't love it.....
