A review by readwithmeemz
Down Station by Simon Morden
3.0
3-3.5 stars.
I'm an Indigo Employee, and I received a copy of this book - from Indigo Books and Music - in exchange for my honest feedback.
I liked this book, but not as much as I thought/hoped I would. I felt pretty disconnected from the characters... They were kind of interesting, but even as I kept reading, I just didn't connect with them, or feel invested in what was happening to them. I also felt like the book didn't flow well - I don't quite know how to explain it.
I liked how fast-paced the book was, because it didn't get boring. The world building was pretty great - I liked the magic system and I think Morden is a good writer.
I'm not sure exactly what it was, but this book just wasn't for me. Although hearing other people's rave reviews about this has made me wonder if maybe I should give the next book in the series a chance.
