Criticize Epithetical Books The Last Hope (Oksa Pollock #1)

3 stars: fun, but they didn't show but tell.The storyline: a bit strange. It didn't feel like they were actually progressing a lot after Oksa discovers some secrets. And strange choices were made concerning priorities. For example, (view spoiler)[ Oksa has to stay behind in class with her evil teacher who wants to abduct her, to clean up class supplies. Instead of just leaving and risking detention, she stays and gets attacked. (hide spoiler)] Nevertheless, it was good enough to keep me reading.

Caveat: I am way outside the age of the target group and I read this book in the English translation.But ... a really good book should appeal to readers of any age and I've read (and thoroughly enjoyed) quite a few YA-novels in recent years. Like other reviewers, I fell victim to the 'next Harry Potter'-hype (in combination with Amazon's 99p-offer). Twice I was ready to call it quits while struggling through the beginning and about 1/3 into the novel I was just not prepared to waste any more

This series has been heralded as the "next Harry Potter", which is always a bit unnerving. Originally written in French and recently translated into English. As far as the story goes, it's ok. It's not awesome and it certainly doesn't suck you in to the point you can't wait for the next book to come out. The only similarity between Harry Potter and this is that they both discovered they can do magic and have a few magical creatures and plants. There are loads of characters and creatures all with

I'm probably too old to truly enjoy this novel. I found it naive, boring and crying. The characters are flat and unlikeable. The conflict is a bit ridiculous.In truth, I didn't finish it. However, I am marking it as read just because I did suffer through 50% of it.

Billed as "the next Harry Potter", I don't think this comparison is fair to either book.Oksa Pollock is a thirteen year old girl who is discovering that she has some incredible powers. Her experimentation brings them to the notice of her family, and opens her to family secrets and the real reason they have had to move from Paris to London. Oksa Pollock: The Last Hope is an absorbing read and well written, although, at times, the dialogue is a little clunky. Its story is one of magic, suspense

I don't know if I expected too much, after reading a review that likened Oska Pollock to Harry Potter, or a lot was lost during translation but I was not impressed in the least. The book had a good backstory to work on: a young, clueless Oska Pollock found herself in the center of a group of magical people who had to escape from their magical world because of internal strife but now had to go back. Good, really. Sadly, the plot and character development were very bad.Sure, there were quite a lot

I found this book very annoying in a lot of ways. The writing was clumsy and as much as I wanted to like Oksa, I mainly found her irritating. I did like that it was often quite dark in a way kids' books usually aren't, and it had enough moments where I enjoyed it that I nudged the rating up from a 2 to a 3. The book isn't very conclusive in and of itself; it's very much meant to be read as part of the series. By the end I was quite interested in the story and wanted to see what happened, but I
