paddlefoot55 's review for:
Marvels and Misfits
by Scarlett Dawn
ARC received from author for an honest review
I have strayed away from PRN kinds of books for a while now, however I have liked the earlier series I have read by Ms Dawn, so it was great to come back to the fold with the start of the Trixie Towers series.
Now, I will say that it took me a while to get my head around who everyone is in this one, however that is to be expected when the set up for an entire series is contained in the first book.
We have elves, shifters, merfolk and all manner or mystical creatures here, all joining forces to save their worlds.
Trixie is the heir apparent and really gets thrown into the deep end here. Boy does she have some adventures.
I will say that I did take a while to get into this one. It didn't grab me immediately, and I did put it down and pick it up a few times before I stuck right through to the end.
I did have a couple of things that irked me, that probably won't worry any one else.
Trixie - she's supposed to be 30 for most of the book, however at times she came across as a teenager - though I guess when everyone else is hundreds or thousands of years old that is to be expected. And the other things was 'Fae' thrown in everywhere. It just seemed to interrupt the sentence flow and it really did start to irritate me - sorry Scarlett!
Whilst it did take me to the second half of the book to really get into it, once I did I found it was over before I wanted it to be, and now I am keen for more of the series to come.
