The Apothecary's Daughter... free on Kindle

Post by Kay Fair »

My first FREE Kindle book... and I want my money back!

Julie Klassen's The Apothecary's Daughter is plagued, not just by a lack of substantive plot, but by poor character development, ever-shifting scenes and settings, a coincidence-dependant story progression, and an mis-understanding of the historical period in which it was set. And no, I'm not just being a romance novel snob. I enjoy a naughty-naughty scene just as much as the next over-sexualized generation X/Y-er. This book didn't really even strike me as a romance, though... Unless of course I was accidentally reading a YA novel. Which is entirely plausible, given the poor organization of the subject classification of Amazon's Kindle Books. The point is, the book made me dumber. But I read it. Cover to cover... er, rather... Click to click?
