Book Review: Wisdom's Kiss by Catherine Gilbert Murdock

Title: Wisdom's Kiss

Author: Catherine Gilbert Murdock Release Date: September 12, 2011 Source: NetGalley  Princess Wisdom, known as Dizzy, longs for a life of adventure far beyond the staid old kingdom of Montagne. Tips, a soldier, longs to keep his true life secret from his family. Fortitude, an orphaned maid, longs only for Tips. These three passionate souls might just attain their dreams while preserving Montagne from certain destruction, if only they can tolerate each other long enough to come up with a plan. Tough to save the world when you can't even be in the same room together. My Thoughts Oh where to start? I really did not enjoy this book at all. No seriously, there is nothing about this book I can talk up. It was that bad. How many different points of view are too many? Three, four, five? Try eight. Yes EIGHT!! Once you take into account the diary entries, the encyclopedia entries, the letters, the play, the main characters, blah, blah, blah. FAR TOO MANY voices and often overlapping storytelling makes for very confusing and boring reading. It was a real CHORE to get through and to be honest, I didn't finish it. I tried, but between the near constant changing P.O.V and the lackluster writing, it was a tough ask. The cover is nice, but don't bother. 1 star :[ If your still interested:

First Monday Of The Month

Man! 

Where has the time gone? 

Its August people!!

So I would normally be doing a giveaway today but have decided to hold off for now as I'm hoping to put something decent together soon (maybe when I reach 100 GFC followers)

Besides which, I still haven't heard from anonymous @ faerielillies06 (email address) who won last months giveaway and so I will be re-drawing a name later in the week if my emails continue to go unanswered.

My poor bookshelf is straining under the weight of my unread books and sadly I think I really need to do a cull. 
There are a few on there that I don't think I'll ever get around to reading. 
Is it me or are there a lot of great sounding, but crappy to read books out there?? 

My current read is one such book that sounded delightful but is an absolute chore to read. 
I'm practically bored to tears by it and I'm thinking of throwing it on the DNF pile. 
Its a book I'm supposed to be reviewing (heads up-it probably wont be pretty!) and so feel I should give it a chance but its not doing a thing for me and I really dislike the writing style. 


Have you read a book like that lately? 
And if so are you willing to name it?!!
