The book “Ambrosia” consists of 18 short chapters with bold typed words, which were easy on the eyes to read. Although the story line is an interesting one, the world of Atlantic still living, I feel the author was unable to capture the true sense of her characters and the plot itself.
The text is written in a play-by-play style that describes the bare minimum details regarding the characters and the events that were taking place now or in the past. There was a lack of depth and substance with every turning page. In my opinion, there was no real emotions or any suspense where there should have been, which gave the reader little to get excited about. There was some, if barely any, character development to give the reader something to relate to and/or identify with.
Paragraphs were made up of fragmented sentence with repetitive word use, especially names. Spelling errors can be found through out, with the word “staid” instead of “stayed” used several times. I myself am a poor speller, but I found it unnerving that someone could not let the author know of these errors. I found the flow of the book sometimes hard to follow since there were various flash back to the past that happen without warning to the reader.
I have read a few self-publisher books in the past and found most needed very little if any correction and were a joy to read. This book, unfortunately, this is not one of them. I think this author needs a support team perhaps, to help her with her writing and be honest to her to a fault. I am hoping she is able to develop her writing more for her sequel to this book.
It is a great story concept and with more meat on the bones of the authors writing it could have been a great book as well. I am not able to recommend this book to too many readers, but maybe the young reader who would like quick reading book without too many details.
