NOT EVERYTHING I HOPED.

I was really excited for this book but it ended up not quite being what I hoped for. What I did like was the general concept of the plot. It’s intriguing enough and with multiple POV’s it’s nice to see different angles of the conflicts. The characters were all perfectly fine. And that’s where the problems start to show.
I feel like I got NO character depth. Nobody was truly memorable and everything was surface level. When these big things would happen I would realize that I didn’t care because there had been nothing to tether me to them. And there was no romance (which isn’t a problem, EXCEPT) for when a very out of pocket fade to black scene was thrown in as if it was checking something off of a list.
If I read the second book it would be on audio to help speed it up. I am intrigued, but eh.
Overall audience notes:
- Fantasy
- Language: low
- Romance: one fade to black
- Violence: moderate
