The Goose Girl: First Post (Relating)
I’m having problems relating to the main character (Ani) in this book. It’s just proving hard to really care about her. I think a big part of the problem is that the book moves incredibly slowly. I’m halfway through the book and it feels like Ive been reading forever and will never get to the end. It’s not badly written, in fact it’s easy and enjoyable to read the writing, but there is so little actually happening that I finish reading a chunk and feel like nothing happened! The philosophical musings and speaking with animals and such are interesting aspects of the book, but it sort of feels like the story is getting side-tracked or something in the process. I’m very confused by the whole thing. And a little frustrated.
