The Blessed by Tonya Hurley

1.0

I really had a hard time getting into this book. Some 300 pages in and I still wasn't sure I even liked the story - but I plowed through and finished it. It's the first in a trilogy and as much as I'd like to give the author and the series the benefit of a second chance, I'm not sure I will.

The story seemed very very slow to unravel and even at the end it was still murky and bogged down in a lot of places and very rushed in others. Characters don't seem true to their original outline, we don't get a lot of background, behaviour changes feel rushed.

I think the author has an interesting premise - perhaps - it's so hard to tell when the story feels so nebulous. Better luck on the 2nd installment!
