Lightblade by Zamil Akhtar
3.0
Sadly I don't think I'm the right reader for this book. I struggled with a lot of elements though greatly admire the innovative nature of the story.
I found that I couldn't root for Jyosh. He was such a whirlwind of a character, one minute he's telling you how ruthless and careless and cruel he is in order to meet his goals and in the next he is whining about being unlovable and undeserving. I would have believed in him more if he were the kind of character that simply stood by justifying his wrongdoings with the aim of taking on evil. I also found some of the relationships in here not only difficult to root for but uncomfortable at times. I did find the descriptions and overall writing style to be compelling and easily digestible so I'm certainly interested in reading more books from this author.
Overall I think it's an incredibly innovative story that will attract a lot of readers, I'm just not the right fit for this book.
