Title: Cobbogoth
Author: Hannah Clark
Number of pages: 336
Genre: fantasy
Book Number/Goal: 23/52
My Rating: 3/5
Notes: YouTube trailer
Review:
17-year-old Norah Lukens becomes involved in her uncle's archaeological research after he gets murdered. She discovers that her weird and scary visions are more than just imagination, and the ancient, mythical land Cobbogoth is actually real... but there's a sinister plot going on, and it falls upon her to discover the truth.
The fantasy world is solid, including its own myths and legends, rituals and a distinct kind of magic. However, nothing is really extraordinary or exciting about the story. It contains humongous infodumps every now and then, and even though most of them are in the form of a dialogue, listening to another character's endless explanations gets boring after a while. The main character is too much of a Mary-Sue. Also, big parts of the text are in italic, which is a reading annoyance.
