The Unnaturalists by Tiffany Trent

2.0

I made it through a third of this book before I had to call it quits. The story seemed to creep by, which ultimately led to a lack of interest. The world building in this book was absolutely amazing (and one I would loved to have explored more), but the two main characters, Vespa and Syrus, just came off as flat to me. In relation to world building, the background stories and myths were fantastic. For example, I would loved to have had an entire book based on the life of the Emperor's daughter, Athena, instead of simply a few sentences here and there. In the end, the slow pace and not-so-exciting characters were what failed to hold my interest and desire to finish the book.
