About book The Beggar King (2010)

"The Beggar King" was a great read, because the story connects real places and real historical events with the story even though it is a fictional novel. The plot became so much more real. I've read the reviews saying that the series get's repetitive, but I really hope that isn't the case, because this was the first "Hangman's Daughter" I read, and I definitely want to read more. The story begins when the Hangman is asked to go visit his ill sister. No spoilers, because event really begin unfolding. Read it to find out more! Meh. Not sure where this one failed me, but it was just barely not a dud. The general premise was good, there was a great plot twist and speedy reading about two thirds of the way in, but in general it felt like floating down a lazy river - kind of boring, with moments of feeling content. I get the feeling that some of the writing is just lost in translation. At times it gained momentum, but then some dialogue would totally falter. It kind of comes across like a young adult novel with odd snippets of dialogue from a middle school English class. Luckily there is plenty of story without dialogue, so I didn't find this overwhelmingly distracting.
