I struggled to get through this one after the first 10% or so… it had an interesting premise that hooked me on the world but it quickly lost me. The premise of the world was interesting, but I needed WAY more world building to happen in this story because I felt so lost most of the time when reading it. It was a classic case of the main character lacking memories about her past and I felt just as confused as she did through the end.
I found myself caring more about the side characters Rose and Zathe than either of our main characters. I immediately disliked Nyte, and for some reason I never did start to like his character. He was giving “I’m so mysterious” the first 50% and saying a lot of questionable things just to get further in the story and pretty much flip a switch. He was a huge hypocrite and I got whiplash from the amount of times the main character changed her mind about his intentions.
This one sadly just wasn’t for me, but I think the next has a potential to pick up the pieces and hopefully build the world out more.
