3.0

So many books with great premises, even better first acts, but why do they fall flat at the end? The first act, fabulous, great, page turner in all its glory, then we got to the second act and it just went down hill.

Overall, it’s not a bad book, has a good story and clearly, it was well thought, I liked it as a whole, but the second act and the ending was definitely not that good and it felt completely flat. However, it’s not a bad book, it’s a semi-quick and entertaining read.
