The Lost Apothecary

DID NOT FINISH: 59%

I just keep putting this book down and NOT wanting to pick it back up.  It is not holding my interest at all.  I could care less about the characters.  Not wasting anymore time on it, it is just not for me.

Fluffy, family, friend fun.  I didn't read the first in this series, so the characters were all new to me.  It didn't hurt my understanding of the story.  Perfect tween book.

The only draw back from this book is how confusing the 'lines' are.  I guess I need to brush up on my Arthurian legend.  I was very, very confused trying to figure out the Scion and Squire orders.

I liked it enough that I read this one super fast, but I wanted more.  More romance, less of the nagging bosses.  I just needed more.  A good beach read.
