A review by booknallnight
A Touch of Light by Thiago Abdalla
Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.
DNF
I'm not even 100pgs in and I'm calling it. While the writing is really good and easy to read, the format and story itself is too confusing with little-to-no explanation.
Beings like the Seraph, are glanced over without explaining who or what they are. They seem to be important as they are mentioned over and over again but I have no idea why.
People are popping up left and right the same way. No idea how they fit in anywhere, and there are so many. I think clans are even mentioned but I honestly have no idea as names are just thrown around.
Then we go from one character's story to the next without any cohesion between the chapters, so at one point I seriously thought I missed something and had to go back and skim what I already finished.
I think this definitely could have been a great read but there is WAY too much happening and too many people, places and clans/tribes popping up. More explanation of what things are, who is who, and maybe even a map of where all these locations and people are would have been helpful.
I do appreciate being provided a review copy. All opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone.
