Taliesin

[watervole]

I'm currently reading 'Taliesin' by Stephen Lawhead. I feel it's a good book and well written, but for some reason, it isn't grabbing me. I'm about a hundred pages in and wondering whether to continue or not.

I've identified one thing that I don't like. All the characters talk in 'heroic' mode, they never use any contractions in their speech.

I think the occasional very heavy dollops of descriptive text may not be helping either. (I tend to like my descriptive text woven more into the story)

Can anyone think of other reasons why this book is failing for me?

Have you read it? Would you recommend that I continue with it or not?
