keziareads 's review for:
Snowblooded
by Emma Sterner-Radley
(Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an eARC in exchange for an honest review)
The premise and plot sounded so good and everything I would love in a book, but it just ended up being all over the place. The pacing was really inconsistent; some chapters flew by so fast that I had to reread them just to figure out what was happening. The fight scenes, especially, were hard to follow because everything happened so quickly with barely any explanation so that's difficult to picture what is actually happening. On the flip side, other chapters dragged on for so long that I found myself getting bored.
I also wasn’t a big fan of the two main characters—they felt pretty two-dimensional, and their constant bickering started to get on my nerves by the end. On top of that, nothing was really explained well. By the time I finished the book, I still didn’t know much about the characters' backgrounds or how the politics of the world even worked. I really don’t like being negative in reviews, but I just think this book could have done with a little more editing and time spent actually fleshing out the characters and the plot.
