The Library of Legends by Janie Chang

2.0

I really hate to give this a low rating but this book totally tanked for me. Nothing felt fleshed out well. The characters felt bland despite the trials they faced. The story itself-I felt like I was reading an outline at times. Things were so drawn out at some points and then BAM some crazy thing would happen and take up all of literally one sentence, then you moved on. It felt too simplistic for such an incredible tale to be told. I did finish the entire thing, but nothing drew me in. I do think this could have been a glittering fantasy but it lacked depth to the writing itself. The cover was gorgeous though! And the story had so much potential.
