I wanted to like this book more than I did. The characters were interesting and I loved the setting and concept, but the plot seemed like three half-plots that were loosely related.
Once in awhile, I read a book that I appreciate immensely yet do not enjoy reading immensely. Objectively, I admire its wonderful qualities, yet it???s missing that special spark that keeps me eagerly turning the pages. Sorcerer to the Crown is one of those books, and I'm rather mystified as to why I didn't love it because there is much that is really well done.
