el dang reviewed The accidental alchemist by Gigi Pandian (Accidental alchemist -- book 1)
Fun, albeit flawed
3 stars
This was a fun light read, engaging enough to get me turning the pages and worrying that one of the characters I liked would turn out to be the culprit. But it was also sort of formulaic, and could really have done with an editor. The love interest was telegraphed about 15 times before the narrator admitted it, and several important details seemed to be introduced 3 times in 3 consecutive paragraphs.
