This book started off with really great potential. I love the story line despite it not being something I’d usually read. However, it felt as though there was a big lead up to the climax of the book and yet it was right at the very end. It felt like it had been brushed over very quickly and I finished the book disappointed because as I said it had really great potential. I just don’t believe the end of it was executed very well.
Despite this, the story itself was unique and did hold my attention. It was also a quick and easy read and I enjoyed it for the most part! However, I am used to reading very big fantasy books and so the climax in those books are extremely detailed and can go on for chapters. If you’re not used to that or aren’t a fan of that then you will enjoy this book!
