Wisdom's Kiss by Catherine Gilbert Murdock

This book was basically a romantic adventure, with lots of politics. The style of writing was no doubt intriguing- it was out of letters, diary entries, an encyclopedia and a play. It is based around Princess wisdom, Fortitude and Tips (those are the three main character's names), based around each of their own problems and how they're brought together.
At first the story was fine, but it just got worse. At one point the story just became truly ridiculous. Because of this, many long periods of time would pass before I picked the book up again.
Supposedly, this book was considered a romance, adventure and comedy. I found only a little bit of adventure (not written quite as I would've liked), drastically dissapointing and pathetic romance (aka: loving someone for your whole life and then suddenly at first sight you fall in love with another girl and end up with that other one. ick.) and no comedy. There was also a lot of boring buisness and politics somewhat.
Perhaps I am just being very critical. Many other readers seemed to have enjoyed this. But though the style of writing was cool, it just made the whole plot more confusing.
I would not really suggest this book at all, but perhaps to people who like buisness and a thick plot.
I'd rate this book a 4/10
