A review by icnicastro
Cursed Legacy by H. Everend
Did not finish book. Stopped at 13%.
The plot itself is intriguing and as each chapter changed to a new generation of characters I had some interest piqued, but I found things were moving too quickly with not enough world building.
More often than not the reader is told things rather than shown, and I really couldn’t connect with the characters. One of the biggest reasons of that being that they didn’t seem to react to things realistically, ie. there are numerous deaths but I didn’t feel any remorse, shock, or time to process it with the character. I also noticed this book seems very plot focused rather than character focused, which doesn’t create a well fleshed experience.
I think there is so much potential with the lore, gore and story that Everend has crafted here, but for my liking there isn’t enough back story or development.
