Breaking Time by Sasha Alsberg

thank you to harper collins for the arc
this was so bad yikes …. i wanted to give sasha another chance especially after i dnfed zenith.
this wasn't good at all. this felt very unpolished and it felt as if i was reading a draft or an unfinished book. the novel is very mediocre and reads for a younger audience, i've seen a few people saying this is YA or NA but it didn't read like any of those.
the writing style was very average and simple, there was a lack of detail at certain times but for the most part it was easy to read. when it came to the mythology sections i felt as if the author had just copy and pasted certain explanations out from a text book leaving it feeling fragmented. throughout this whole book i still feel as if we didn't get a proper explanation about what was happening with the monsters etc.
the main character felt very bland, again likable but there just wasn't anything interesting about her, it also felt a little bit self-inserty which i won't go too much into but it just wasn't good. callum was also bland, and the two had no chemistry whatsoever and their relationship came out of nowhere. the plot was boring, i wanted to see more of the fantasy element but we didn't get that either and it just felt rushed. as for the plot twist, it was extremely predictable and i have zero desire to pick up the sequel.
