There's a Dagger in Your Back by Stacey Willis
Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.
DFN
I'm so gutted because I have LOVED Stacey's previous work but I just could not get into this at all.
I feel like it didn't grip me and I found the over changing of words really distracting for example:
Magic to magik, siren to syren, witch to wyche, fairy to faery, faith to fayth, cure to kure.
It just didn't seem necessary and I was a bit thrown by all of them being changed.
The narritive also felt 'off' as there were instances where 'the iman' and 'the blonde' were constantly used and when there are two imans in one scene it felt confusing.
The story itself didn't grip me at all. I felt like it was missing something and felt almost bland to me.
I think the premis of the book is good but it needed more editing and things to be looked at more closely.
I will still be support Stacey in her other series (Daughter of Fire) as I loved those books and feel that that's where she excelled as an Author.
