The Waking Land by Callie Bates
2.0
I tried so hard to finish this book, I really did. But it's been almost 7 months and I looked at my page count and thought, "I can't do it." The Waking Land is officially my first DNF.
I am shocked at how boring this book was. It has a gripping pitch - I love magic and even political fantasy has it's appeal to me. But there were so many name drops and the MC's inner dialogue just dragged on and on. The atmosphere and descriptions of magic were beautiful, but there were so many characters and places to keep track of. I'd just rather spend my time reading something I'd be having more fun with.
