A review by marcusnyahoe
The Alchemist of Souls by Anne Lyle

3.0

I feel a bit bad about not finishing this as it has all the hallmarks of something I'd enjoy. The setting is well realised and there is some interesting political interplay going on, but I just lost interest.

There's something not quite right with the pacing for me. I was reading along quite merrily, but then it struck me that at some point I stopped picking it up because I was enjoying it, and more and more just to get through it. This could possibly be more down to me than the book, and I shall certainly return to it at some point in the future, but for now it has to go down as a book with unfulfilled potential.
