A review by loreofthebooks
Draw Down the Moon by P.C. Cast, Kristin Cast

Did not finish book.

 

Thank you to Wednesday books for an ARC! 

DNF

First, I have only read one other book by these authors, and that didn’t go well because it was more sci-fi, so I hoped that this one being fantasy would be more to my liking. 

Unfortunately, it wasn’t. While the concept was an interesting concept, what kept holding me up was the writing. I was not vibing with the writing style at all. Despite the characters all being eighteen, this read much younger than that, more towards a middle grade audience than a young adult one. 

I love prose and descriptors, I just felt that the way it was written in this book did not work for me. I also struggled to get into the characters as they kept falling flat, they didn’t feel like there was a lot going on with them. 

Honestly, I hate to say it, I was cringing as I read this, and as much as I wanted to continue this book, I couldn’t. It just wasn’t for me. 

If you love magical academies you might enjoy this book!
