Helpful Score: 3
I'm a huge Linnea Sinclair fan and I think her "An Accidental Goddess" is one of the best books I've read in a very long time. She might have been designed to be one of my favorite authors since she combines rip roaring science fiction with a good bit of romance.
So I really hate to say anything negative about a book of hers, but this one just didn't grab me the way her other novels have.
There were a number of details that bothered me, such as the fact that the heroine knows an interstellar language that is almost the same as English. I know there has to be some way for the main characters to communicate, but really! And there were other things like that.
Still, my main trouble was that the characters just never seemed real to me. I can't pin down exactly what was missing, but my emotions just didn't engage with the people and the plot.
Please understand, an OK book by Sinclair is better than the best books by many authors, but given the magic of her other books, this one was a disappointment.
