ceena 's review for:

On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness by Andrew Peterson

DID NOT FINISH

---

*I voluntarily read and reviewed ARCs of these books. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*

DNF @ 2%

2%, really?? That's it?? Yeah, okay this is one of those situations where I can tell really quickly this isn't the one for me, so I'm not going to review it.
Look, I could tell the book was trying to be funny. I was even trying to narrate it in my mind with a dude that does these semi-serious, but truly trying to be funny set ups, yet I couldn't get it to work. I didn't even get to the book, I was still in the Brief Overview/Background sections. The nameless bad guy named.... -- and Life is great except for ___ (aka everything sucks)-- and they looked like humans! except for scales, tails, etc. (again aka everything was different).

I recognize this is supposed to be funny and not taken seriously at this point. I should have known from the title, but at this point I think I missed the "of Darkness" part because if I had noticed that redundancy originally I wouldn't have requested this one. I would have known from the start I probably wouldn't like it.

So, yeah, this is a me thing and I'm sure this type of humor will work for some people and for the younger crowd.
