betty reviewed Watchtower by Elizabeth A. Lynn
Review of 'Watchtower' on 'Goodreads'
1 star
I picked up the trilogy to which this belongs because I'd heard it mentioned as pro-fic with a slash-vibe. I read it less than a year ago, and had to look up the amazon reviews to remind myself of which one it is.
This book, the first in the trilogy, has nothing exceptionally slashy in it beyond a bit of feudal allegiance-swearing. It's rather dull, and it feels like the author is making her protagonists travel because she can't think of anything else for them to do. It's not interestingly or terrifyingly bad, though, and I might read it again if I were trapped somewhere for a weekend with nothing else.
