A review by lenemsl
Last of the Talons by Sophie Kim
Did not finish book.
I noticed that I was just enduring the story rather than enjoying it, waiting for it to be over, so DNFing.
I love youg women assassins, a good for her story with a main character that I generally liked, and the universe is both interesting and intriguing. There was just something about the writing style that gnawed at me. Very much tell, not show, constantly spelling everything out, characters having unnatural monologues to tell us what is going on, reminding us of obvious things so often that it started to annoy me. Its really not for me. I'm also learning that romantasy type of stories annoy me to no end 80% of the time. Between these different things that are just not for me at all, I just did not enjoy this story at all.
