The land of stories 26/11/2023 ![]() ![]() And of course none of this is to say I haven't enjoyed these books, I truly have. That being said, Colfer is very young and very smart and I have little doubt that his tendency to self congratulate will dissapate as he matures as a writer. I get it, you're clever, you can stop beating me over the head with it. Which comes across as pompous and condescending to the reader. It isn't enough to write a great little bit of dialouge, there has to be a "see what I did there?!" moment immediately following it. The entire time reading these books I got the distinct impression that there is a LOT of self flagalting going on. ![]() Colfer definitely has a talent for storytelling, but it is so very obvious that he knows this. But the wink wink, nudge nudge quality to the writing makes me crazy. ![]() The characters are fun and interesting for the most part. ![]()
