"Dragon's Keep"
by Janet Lee Carey
Look at that marvelous cover art! And with the word "dragon" in the title! How could this book miss?
Yes, how.....?
But it did. -sigh-
"Far away on Wilde
Island, Princess Rosalind is born with a dragon claw where her ring
finger should be. To hide the secret, the Queen forces her to wear
gloves at all times until a cure can be found,so Rosalind can fulfill
the prophecy to restore the family to their rightful throne.But
Rosalind’s flaw cannot be separated from her fate. When she is........"
Beautiful Princess, horrible flaw, wonderful prophecy... Great aspects. But the plot turned into a series of "The Perils Of Pauline"... Troubles, after troubles, after troubles, after troubles, each one worse than the last... Befall our heroine.
Sure, a plot has to have "bad-stuff-happen," or it would be dull. But this book has just too many "bad-stuffs-happening," for my taste.
