A Winter's Promise by Christelle Dabos

3.0

While the world was intriguing and painted a curious picture, the beginning was so slow-paced it dragged on. The characters in the front (especially the main character) were highly unlikable, but towards the end, some (emphasis on some) caught my attention and I wanted to see how they'd go further. The last fourth of the book picked up to my pace and liking. I wish the author, however, would go into more descriptive detail on how certain elements of the world work, or more so the history of the world as it's sprinkled in here and there but with no expectation of it being brought up again in the future. I plan on reading the second installment to see if it gets better or if the characters I started to lean toward get more likable. While this isn't my favorite read, it defiantly isn't by far the worst
