You read much more than I could listen to. I think you described it very well with “clever but pointless”. That’s exactly it! I haven’t heard about La Belle Sauvage until today. But now I heard about it from you and from a video blogger almost simultaneously. Looks like it’s a series. I should try it. I’m looking for some series to read, although I haven’t dived into fantasy yet.

By then as far as I could see there was no longer any point at all. Clever but pointless. Perhaps it illustrated too clearly that life’s too short – so I stopped reading. My immediately previous read was La Belle Sauvage by Philip Pullman – outstandingly good in every way.
