Sovay by Celia Rees

I don't even...

I am angry at books right now.

Do authors even care anymore? Gah. This and the Maximum Ride series--which I will get to later--I just can't handle it. Garbage.

I'm overreacting a little bit. Here's the deal with this book.

I couldn't actually finish it. I got too confused. The main character(Sovay) kept meeting people with generic names and I couldn't keep track of who they all where.  The main character (Sovay), in the first four or five chapters, met about five guys around her age who were all attractive and all took a page to think about how pretty she was or how she wasn't like other girls. (Cue random references to way out of time period dislike of slavery so that we know that the main characters are good guys.) She met so many attractive young men I couldn't remember who they all were. The main character (Sovay) was a complete idiot.

Cue me deciding to just look at the last chapter to see who she ended up falling in love with so I could understand what was happening. It was some guy she hadn't even met yet. Also there were three or four other young attractive men she'd also met along the way. Because when America was young and Britain had an empire, you were either a father, a bad guy, the main character, or a 20 something year old man "who look very fine".

Looking back to find a quote to make fun of, I figured out the problem. Except for a sentence when they tell the main character (Sovay!) their name, the author (Rees) only uses pronouns. Every chapter is page after page of He, he, he, hehehehe, She, she, he, she, he, he, he.

Rating? I don't it's fair for me to give one, since I didn't actually read it. I just gotta say, after two Agatha Christie books it was not pretty.
Read again? Not physically able to read theh first time.
You read? If you like drivel. It was worse than Twilight. I'm completely serious; at least Twilight was easy to read.
Age level: I don't know. I didn't actually read it.

PS I got this book because I'd read the authors previous one, Pirates! when I was like 16. I thought I'd liked it. I think I misremembered.
