A review by ninetalevixen
The Bone Shard Emperor by Andrea Stewart
Did not finish book. Stopped at 27%.
I received an advance review copy from Orbit Books through Netgalley; all opinions are my own and honest.
I remember enjoying the first book and being intrigued by the ending, but by the time I picked this up I had forgotten a lot of what previously happened, which made it difficult to reorient myself in the opening chapters and was definitely a major obstacle despite the in-text allusions to prior events. A lot of the characters' reasoning and actions seem illogical, irrational, and/or too plot-convenient; it didn't help that the narration felt really repetitive too.
