liznbooks 's review for:
House of the Beast
by Michelle Wong
Thank you NetGalley for an ARC, however this is my honest review.
I truly do no think this is 'High-Fantasy'. To my taste, it was incredibly lacking in that department. Is there even a magic system? I personally don't think so. This wasn't fantasy enough for me. I was expecting more magic powers. More interesting world. There was a quick and info-dumpy page about the world and then that was it. Now lets move on the to cast of characters.... They all were a flat one-note. I feel like if the family dynamic was done better, it could have saved the book for me. I did not care for any of the characters nor their relationship with each other. I didn't hate this book but it was boring.
I am genuinely sad I do not like this. One of my most anticipated reads this year. The asian authors haven't been hitting the marks for me
