I was really disappointed with "Alexander and the magic moise". The story was incredibly predictable and lacked any depth. The characters were one-dimensional and I found it hard to care about their journey. The dialogue also felt forced and unnatural, making it difficult to connect with the story on an emotional level. Overall, I was left feeling unsatisfied and uninterested in what should have been an exciting adventure.
2. John - 1 star
I couldn't stand "Alexander and the magic moise". The writing was extremely weak and it felt like the author was trying too hard to be clever and whimsical. The plot was barely existent, with major events happening without any explanation or logical progression. The story lacked coherence, which made it difficult to follow and ultimately made me lose interest. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a well-written and engaging fantasy novel.

"Alexander and the magic moise" was a huge letdown for me. The premise had so much potential, but the execution fell flat. The pacing was off, with dull moments dragging on and action scenes feeling rushed and underdeveloped. The world-building was also lacking, leaving me confused about the rules and logic of this fictional universe. I was hoping for a captivating adventure, but instead, I was left feeling bored and disconnected from the story.
