The Pixilated Peeress

Rating:
Summary: Hi-brow Comedic Fantasy
Review: This was my first DeCamp book and I hope it is not representative of the authors' talents. I found this fantasy to be somewhat lacking. It took me almost a week to get through the book, which is only 200 pages in my copy. Not exactly a page turner. There were some moments that I did enjoy, mostly those scenes which did not include Yvette, a character who remained true to her background until the last few pages when she did a 180 (too late for our poor protagonist). The humor was hi-brow. By that I mean it was as if the authors are making fun of the fantasy genre rather than celebrating it. Were they talking down to me, telling me I shouldn't be wasting my time on such nonsense? Oh well, it was on my shelf, and so had to be read. I don't recommend this particular book unless you are a DeCamp purist.
