The Waking Land by Callie Bates

2.0

I was so disappointed in this book. I might have been slightly less disappointed had I gone in expecting it to be YA (it was shelved with adult fantasy), but even still. The concept was great. The magic system intriguing. But the writing was mediocre, and I swear it got worse as it went along, and the characters were mostly flat and unbelievable. I almost dropped this on the DNF pile. Really wish it could've lived up to its cover art...
