Okay, to be fair, the biggest problem I have with this book is that it's just not my style. Basically a plot-driven thriller with lots of fight scenes, quips from people who think they're being bad ass and edgy, and gory descriptions. The writing itself is fine. I think I could still have gotten behind it if there were more world building, and most importantly character development!! An element of mystery can be interesting for sure, but by the end of the book I don't care enough about it to keep going in the series to find out what's happening to tech/magic in the world, nor what Kate's super-strong secret magical power is. Even the monsters in this book are flat - just the basic descriptions they come with in classic legend with no dimension. This could still be really fun for a quick, easy read if the genre is your style though!!
