Sword Catcher by Cassandra Clare
1.0
Sword Catcher is a new fantasy series by Cassandra Clare, and that alone is enough for someone to check out this book. And true, there are elements that are compelling and interesting. The world that it introduces feels complex and alluring, with a nice atmosphere that brings to mind medieval castles and Eastern empires. The two main characters are too interesting to follow at first.
However, the book fails to flesh out any story. Halfway through and nothing had happened, with the two main characters finally meeting that underworld King 200 plus pages in. The characters also stopped being interesting and seemed more like shells that can be found in many other books, even though the criminal King sounded tempting, but he didn't have too much time on page.
So, halfway through, it felt like the story was too thinly stretched throughout a wast length, therefore, it didn't make sense for me to continue with this book.
