Carrier of the Mark by Leigh Fallon
1.0

I really hate giving up on books. It feels like I failed or something, but this...this was bad.
Usually, I can read a book if the plot line is shaky and the characters are awesome. Now, if it's vice versa I'm more borderline. I read 60% for the characters and 40% for the plot basically.
Carrier of the Mark had me interested in the characters for less than thirty pages, and I could already tell the plot line would be stupid. Alas, I dredged on...
I made it until page 82. Then, after feeling guilty, I opened it up in the middle and tried to give it a chance, but nothing. The characters were too weak and the plot line...might've actually been okay with different characters, I'll give it that.
I can't recommend this book, but hey, if you like it, congratulations!
