Key to the Griffon’s Lair: Second Post (Prose)
The plot of this book is so far pretty good, but the writing leaves something to be desired. The kids seem extra whiny and distractable (very player-like in a way) and the story moves through events very much like a child telling a story does - rapidly, without pausing for detail or even to ask logical questions. It just seems to lack something and part of the result is that the author seems to have little real respect for the characters (although she seems to be unaware of it - which is even stranger). I’m not sure what to think about it at this point. Hopefully it will get better.
