Book Reviews of The Mountain's Call
Book Review: A Stinker
Summary: 2 Stars
I really thought I would like this book, I really did! It started off so well, very Harry Potter like with the herioine headed off to this mystical school where she was to learn about the White Horse Gods...but as it went on and on and on...it lost its thrill.
I can't really say why. The plot though intending to become more intense, only became more and more dull. The whole plot is culminating in this "Dance" and though it is obviously important to the story, the author fails to explain WHY this "dance" is so important. I guess it can change the course of stuff...but who really cares?
Mostly, this book is made up of lots of sex and torture, two things that in my opinion are not really related, so all and all this book was a stinker.
two stars.
Summary of The Mountain's Call
Tales are told of the mysterious, powerful Mountain where the gods--powerful beings in the form of white horses--live. But Valeria knows no woman has ever been called to the Mountain. Until she feels a strange pull and answers the call--as a boy..
When her secret is discovered Valeria loses all that she's won. Her anger and frustration with the Empire might be enough to give the barbarians a way into the Mountain. And so the Empire now depends on the will, the strength and the loyalty of one Rider. A Rider who has been rejected by all but the gods.
