readermila 's review for:

The Amalfi Curse by Sarah Penner
DID NOT FINISH: 16%

Absolutely disliked the writing. I felt like it was treating the reader as forgetful and distracted, and hated the repetitions of facts and names that I could easily remember and did not need help with.

Also, there was a passage where sexists stereotypes were presented that the contemporary female main character didn’t question at all. 

I think I would have enjoyed this story, it seemed very promising, but the writing put me off to the extend that I decided to stop.
