A Broken Blade by Melissa Blair
DID NOT FINISH: 11%

This would be a fine book. Only 49 pages in, I can see its potential. Classic fantasy, decent story building

For me, it had one glaring problem that made each page and absolute hike to get through:

Every sentence was about the same length

If you know anything about writing, it’s like music. Storytelling has a rhythm, a flow. Even my sentences in this review vary in length, while this book’s did not. It made the read monotonous. Boring. Frustrating. And it is frustrating, because the potential is there

Maybe I shall revisit in the future, but for now I’m returning it
