Broken Souls and Bones
by LJ Andrews
Disappointed. In theory, it should have had everything I love in a romantasy but for some reason, didn't vibe with this one. I felt like there was a lot of telling and little showing.
The plot moved soo slowly. think would have enjoyed this book more if it had beern high fantasy and not romantasy. It has battles, ancient magic, and political unrest all great fantasy elements. Whereas on the romance side, I felt zero tension, angst or chemistry between the MCs. Nothing was earned.
The magic system was very cool. I liked that it was a little gruesome. Unfortunately, it isn't clearly explained. I think more examples of characters using it would have helped solidify the differences between them and why Lyra's magic was so special.
Overall, just wasn't captivated by the setting, the characters, the relationships, or the conflict.
