![]() ![]() ![]() Overall, I found "The Lacemaker" to be a very disappointing read. ![]() However, the romance between he and Elisabeth, like most of the book, developed at a very lacklustre pace. He was a great hero, and I liked him from the start. She did change throughout the book but too slowly for my liking. Despite having a controlling father, I found her frustrating and spoilt, and I never felt connected with her. I also wasn't impressed with the main character, Elisabeth. Thankfully, the latter half of "The Lacemaker" was better, but I had lost interest by then and was looking forward to reaching the last page. The author put too much detail into her writing to the detriment of the actual story, losing its natural flow. I also found first half of the book tediously slow. If the author could use three or four words instead of one, she did. I found the plot line flat and the writing choppy, disjointed and wordy. The stunning front cover first caught my attention and the synopsis on the back sounded intriguing, but the story inside did not live up to expectations. ![]() I am definitely going against the majority of reviews but, I must say, I didn't like this book. ![]()
