Review:
This is the kind of book that I would imagine has a cult following. Unfortunately, I'm not one of the followers. I read 100 pages of Shamra Divided before giving up. I just could not get into the story. Shamra Divided is a fantasy novel featuring a humanoid-type race called Shamra fighting to survive. They battle an enemy race called the Kimra. Shamra Divided is full of warriors, battles, prophets, spirits, fighting, and more fighting. I'm not a fan of extended fighting scenes. I can appreciate what Barry Hoffman is doing with his world and characters, but this book just wasn't for me.
Score:
Shamra Divided gets one star since I stopped after 100 pages.

Maybe like an Ender's Game following??
ReplyDeleteHey Nat,
ReplyDeleteMaybe so. But I never read Ender's Game either because I'm guilty of juding a book by it's cover and I dind't like the cover of Ender's. :)
Plus it was an old paperback, which you know I hate. If I'm reading a paperback, it has to be in pretty good shape or I get turned off. Maybe having a Kindle will help that!
