The Baker’s Boy
The Baker’s Boy by J.V. Jones.
Huh. I’m not exactly sure how I stumbled across this book, although, sadly, it appears that I actually bought it at some point. I have no idea why, but I did. And then it promptly sat around in my book pile long enough for the pages to yellow. And I actually only started to read it over the holidays because I had read everything else in the house at least once before. Are you getting the feeling that I wasn’t much thrilled by this fantasy novel? Very astute of you.
In brief, don’t bother reading this. Contrived, predictable, downright boring; all these words apply to this book. OK, it wasn’t completely horrible, but there is plenty out there that is much better. Give it a miss.
2/5 gogs.
