A review by mstaino4
Mask of Shadows by Linsey Miller

2.0

You’re thrown right into the thick of things with this story. It was a little confusing at first to figure out the hierarchy and logistics of the fantasy realm. It almost felt like this book was a sequel because I was missing so much back story. I got half way through and was still confused by the history and politics. I wish more background was sprinkled in to give me a better concept. It’s hard to keep track of the characters because each is a number with no other identifying features. You really can’t get attached to anyone because you don’t know enough about them. I did enjoy the relationships of Sal, Elise and Maud. Their person connections helped break up the fighting and gave the story a more personal connection. There is a timeline at the end but it added to my confusion and didn’t clear anything up. Overall this book has major hunger game vibes but is missing the background information and character development.
