The Friar’s Lantern by Greg Hickey

Rating: 3 out of 5.

It took me a while to write this review. I just had a hard time pinning down exactly what I wanted to say. Honestly there are pluses and minuses to this one. There were a few things that caught my attention that kind of drove me nuts at first. I try so hard not to be bothered by grammatical errors, especially when I think they might have been added for a purpose. For example, there are several run-on sentences in this read. I have decided to let it go even though they do bug me. There were other things that are more important. 

I love that this is a choose your own fate book. There aren’t nearly enough of these and I think it’s great that this is one of them. Actually, I feel like there could have been even more choices to make that would have made this an even more delightful book. 

There was a bit of a lull in the plot as we went through the court room scenes, but things start to pick up near the end. I actually decided long before the time came how I was going to vote. But!!! I want to vote differently the next time I read it. And that’s why this type of book is so great. You didn’t enjoy how it went the first time?! Go a different route the next time!! 

That being said, it was hard to rate this. The beginning was much slower than I had anticipated, but it still ended up being a decent read. This is why I chose three stars. Perhaps the next time I get a chance to read this, I’ll change the rating. That’s why a choose your own fate book is so great!! 

Thanks so much to the author, Greg Hickey, for the opportunity to read this for my honest and unbiased opinion!!
