Review:
I honestly don’t understand all the hype around this book. I went into it really expecting to enjoy it however I was incredibly disappointed.
The start was promising, however it just went downhill from there. The main bulk of the book appeared to be just filler, it was essentially drivel that had nothing to do with the main event that happened at the end. And when it got to the final few chapters everything seemed to just happen at once and it just felt rushed, almost as if the author suddenly realized nothing was happening in her book and was trying to scramble to cram something in at the end.
Overall it just felt sloppy. There was no character development, the world building wasn’t great and it just didn’t engage me. Most importantly most of the events that happened were just forgettable.
I was hoping that it would get better in the later books but upon attempting to read the second one I realized that I was completely wrong. I got about two chapters in before I gave up and decided that I would not put myself through another one of these books.
