I resolve to be more selective about books I grab off the library's new releases shelves. Since I tend to complete books that I start, this impulsiveness leads to me reading books like this one. Which, other than not being my favorite genre, being too goofy for me, containing odd names for odd fantasy things that I don't care to learn, means I've spent time on this book which could have been spent on something that would have elevated my understanding of the world - or at least amused me more.Really, though, since it takes a genuinely awful book to get me to stop unfinished, I guess this was tolerable after all.
Here's the test: will I read the next volume in - gasp - the series?
