sami341 's review for:
Snowblooded
by Emma Sterner-Radley
This was not what I expected. I would not compare this to Six of Crows.
There is little action and I don't feel connected to the characters past a surface level. Valour, Ingrid and Petrichor are good characters with interesting back stories, but there wasn't any depth to them. Even their connections to each other seemed hollow.
Valour and Ingrid seemed to develop feelings for each other instantly. Also Valour and Petrichor hated each other, but one brief conversation later that didn't even cover much, they were fine with each other.
In terms of the story, they needed to assassinate someone who sounded impossible to even find, yet they only spoke to a few people and found the warehouse very quickly. There were also whole chapters that weren't leading the story along and could have been left out. Along with too much telling us everything instead of showing.
Overall this was a slow but promising start and then a very rushed middle and end that could have been better. A quick read because not much actually happens.
Thank you to Netgalley, the author and publisher for an eARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
