A review by cnoelle
The Waking Land by Callie Bates

2.0

This book was such a disappointment! It started off well, with an interesting plot and a pension for interesting vague hints as to the magic of the world and long buried secrets that were about to be revealed to us and the main character. But once the action starts going, the main character becomes pretty shallow and flighty. She spends the whole book raging back and forth between sides with every measly, weak argument every other character says. They can literally say one critical sentence about her current side and she'll change her entire world view in a split second. She has no backbone and I just couldn't empathize with her at all.

I gotta stop letting myself be drawn in by a fantastic cover and intriguing map!!
