I absolutely adore fantasy, magick based worlds. I grew up reading about the land of OZ and of course Harry Potter. So I assumed that Sylvia Izzo Hunter's book The Midnight Queen would offer me an escape into something somewhat similar. I was sadly disappointed as I trudged through the first few chapters, hoping that it would become more interesting. It started out exciting, a mysterious delivery and an attack but then bam, it was as mundane as everyday life. Honestly, I found it hard to force myself to finish it. The characters were as described, plain. But the author after all works in scholarly journals maybe fiction is not really the best use of her talents.
