A review by ergative
The Unbroken by C.L. Clark

3.0

 Mmph. I wanted to like this a lot more than I did. But I found myself putting it down and struggling to pick it up again. I thought the city and setting were very well realized, but Touraine seemed much too uncertain of herself to really be a satisfying main character. She keeps changing her mind and undermining the various factions that she throws her lot in with, over and over again, and gets far too many second and third chances than she deserves, given the damage that her repeated dumb decisions wreak eveerywhere. It definitely feels like a first novel: terrific idea, but the execution needed to be tightened up. Probably the second book in the series will be better, but I don't see myself picking it up. 

Fabulous cover art.
