10. The Swan Thieves
Overall, I found The Swan Thieved to be frustrating and totally forgettable. I was not one of the people who was blown away by The Historian so I didn’t have great expectations, but my frustrations developed quickly.
The issues with point of view continued. No variances in the voices developed, and then suddenly we started to get information from unknown sources. For the first half of the book we had either word of mouth or letters for the doctor to find his information but then we were suddenly privy to information that wouldn't have been available. Was it the doctor's imagination? I have no idea.
The ending was ridiculous! All along we have been trying to figure out what made this man go 'crazy', once we do (I almost beg to differ that we ever really got anywhere at all, but I digress...) he shakes hands with his doctor and walk out the door. WTH!!! He never spoke, he was never evaluated, he was never treated. How does his doctor discovering who he was painting and why make this man no longer crazy! WHAT?!? I can't even think it out properly.
Ugh. Waste of my time, thieves indeed.
