   None No current Talk conversations about this book.  wyvernfriend | Nov 1, 2024 |   “Sunbringer,” by Hannah Kaner I liked this book. Some parts were a little drawn out but overall, it was really good. I liked the disability aspect especially because I have not seen that in a Greek myth retelling type of book. There is a main character that has a wheelchair and sign language isn’t allowed, I liked the moral dilemma with the hate of disabilities. Most of the characters I thought were interesting and I was rooting for them. 4 out of 5 stars, cannot wait to read more. -Magic -Multi POV -Sign Language -Disabilities -Greek Gods/Myths Thank you for the ARC. (  ) adrihean | Oct 4, 2024 |  ) FrinoBaggins | Jul 15, 2024 | This was bad even for a centre book, so much blah blah, with nothing really said, and all in the still overly pompous off-putting language the first book was already suffering from. Had the first book still some story line going on which made me want to go on reading (despite the horrendous language), this one had nothing of this sort. Worse, it felt like as if a template was used, and all the points which a "traditional" fantasy story has to have were checked off. Which means that the story had no surprises and you knew exactly what would happen down the line. The little character development that was there seemed to be forced because it had to fit the template as otherwise the story wouldn't be working any more. Everything read stilted and lacked of emotions. None of the characters are likeable, but also not non-likeable because all of them were extremely bland this time around. The longer I read the book, the more I have the feeling that the disabled characters were only added to be certain that the book would be able to be sold and find a publisher, as Ms Kaner's writing can't overcome the tired old formulated story line she was set on to use, to make it interesting and the book needed some kind of hook to be "special". I ended up speed reading through it, in the hope to find some redeeming parts (in all fairness, two or three chapters weren't half bad), and I still fell asleep plenty of times. Was I still hopeful by the end of book 1 to go on reading, now I have to say, most likely not. *Kissen = pillow in German ( ) Black-Lilly | Jun 15, 2024 |  ) spiritedstardust | Jun 1, 2024 | no reviews | add a review
