Guardians of Dawn: Ami by S. Jae-Jones
Did not finish book. Stopped at 28%.
I tried to read this, hoping it improved with book two. Unfortunately, I just don't think this writing style is to my tastes. It definitely felt better than book one but not enough.
I don't have a good sense of what these characters look like. And it's not like the author can't describe things well -- the setting descriptions are very detailed and vivid! But other than like one defining characteristic for each of them, I don't know what they look like. It's like imagining blobs running around a barren field.
I also don't have a good sense of this part of the story. Yes, Zhara and Ami are looking for the rest of the pieces of a mystical text but what else will this story involve? What's the inciting incident, the thing that's supposed to hook me in? Was it zombies? Because we had something very similar in book one.
I was skimming and didn't feel like I was missing much so I figured I'd cut my losses.
Many thanks to NetGalley, Wednesday Books, and the author for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review.
