Silence by Michelle Sagara

2.0

Eh, it was just okay. I didn't really connect with the main character, or the other characters, for that matter. I didn't like them or care, one way or another. I attribute that to poor writing. And, on poor writing - the author takes forever to explain what's going on. We know there is something special about Emma, but what is? What is her power? What does a necromancer do and why is that dangerous? The author is slow to explain, and then does so only in the most vague terms. I suspect she didn't do her research, so she didn't want to say the wrong thing, or else, didn't have much to say on the topic. It left me unsatisfied. Even with the obvious to-be-continued ending, it didn't leave me anticipating the next one.
