Writing Style: Third person past tense. One POV. I really wanted to like this book, but where's the personality? Where's the heart? The characters weren't goofy or unique in any way and I struggled to care about them as a result. I'm also not sure why it was Tuesday's at Castle Glower, when it took place over several weeks and there was only one mention of Tuesday in the entire book. Though there was nothing inherently wrong with the plot, I gave this two and a calf out of five cows. I think the emotional element is one of the most important parts of a story, and without it, it doesn’t matter how good the structure is.
