And full disclosure, I only requested this book so that I could hopefully be a positive review in a sea of negativity. But unfortunately, I failed.
I read an uncorrected galley, and I am desperately hoping that most of my issues were the fault of it being uncorrected. However, with that being said, I am still going to review this book as I read it, faults and all. And I will state a theory of mine at the end, but I want to keep the focus on the book for now.

bookishexpat's review against another edition
This kind of storyline really needs a more compelling writing style IMO, something more expressive and more emotionally stirring.
