![]() ![]() It’s after the gang make it to Haggard’s castle and Molly “ puther face in the little cat’s random fur.” It was actually one such metaphor that convinced me to put down the book and walk away. “ Molly’s own face closed like a castle against him.”ĭoes he mean like a drawbridge? Is that what he was going for? ![]() In my opinion, the metaphors were usually clumsy at best and downright cringe-worthy at worst. I’ve read several pages worth of these opinions and I keep thinking…did we read the same book? They keep referencing the gorgeous writing style, the wonderful plot, the lyrical prose and the spell-binding metaphors. I was surprised by the overall positive reviews on GoodReads in regards to this book. ![]() I usually don’t write blog posts about books I don’t finish but I thought I would make an exception with this one as it hasn’t been since The Magus that I have had such a drastically different opinion from the masses. So spoiler warning, I guess, even though this book was written over forty years ago. ![]()
