The Ember Blade by Chris Wooding
2.0
2*
Alright, this was a bit of a disappointment. The synopsis sounded like this book was right up my alley. I mean, heist-plot...HELLO?! I honestly didn't need to know anything else.
I was really hoping to find a hidden-gem but, alas, no such luck.
There were some moments I liked quite a lot because they were very promising. Unfortunately, I ended up skimming a lot of the book because I was really bored :(.
Furthermore, I didn't care about the characters which is why any dangerous or supposed-to-be-impactful moments didn't bother me in the slightest.
The last 200 pages or so were definitely the best part of the book for me & they even made me question if I should possibly read the sequel. Sadly, it wasn't quite enough to convince me to read the sequel.
