ithlilian 's review for:
The Hidden Palace
by Helene Wecker
The first book in this series surprised me by how much I loved it. With all the description and so little action I thought I would quit it quickly, but I didn't, it won me over with it's characters. This one lost me for the same reason after the first part. I enjoyed the characters introduced in the first book, and once we shifted focus away from them and added additional characters I found myself somewhat interested at first and then less and less interested. They felt like add ons instead of being integral to the central story and they didn't feel as complex or interesting as the main cast. I went from loving this to barely finishing it which is unfortunate. All in all it was still decent, but not as good as I hoped, not as captivating as the first book.
