Into the Crooked Place by Alexandra Christo
1.0
Initial thoughts: I finally finished reading this book! That in itself feels like my biggest achievement of February since I've been slogging through this one for more than three months. It's such a shame because I really liked To Kill a Kingdom, which was Alexandra Christo's debut novel.
Into the Crooked Place however, left me incredibly bored. The writing style was often stiff and the conversations between characters were stilted. Plot-wise, I felt incredibly unengaged. Only the last chapter piqued my interest but that's too late to convince me to bother with the sequel. I would give a different book or series from the author a shot though before deciding whether or not to write off her future works or not.
