A review by ceena
Furyborn by Claire Legrand
Did not finish book.
*I received a copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*
DNF @ 9%
This book should have hit everything on my like list, but we just didn't click. Honestly, I think part of the reason why is because of how the prologue is done. It isn't so much a prologue as an event that will happen in one timeline (therefore has happened in another). I wasn't curious about how things would lead up to that sad point, and unfortunately, it put me at odds with a character.
I've got to be able to like a character or at least connect with them in order to want to read a book... usual. I know this is something not everyone needs in their books though.
The second lead character seemed a bit wishy-washy and I was confused about what was going on -- who is she, who does she work for, etc.-- not a great way to introduce another character when I'm already on the edge with the other one.
So, I probably could have pushed forward more, but I just don't think we were going to work out.
This doesn't mean I won't be recommending this to people. People who like fantasy with alternating timelines and morally questionable characters, this is a book for them.
