The Balance of Fates by Raquel Raelynn

emotional tense medium-paced

1.5

This book frustrates me because the foundation for a really great story is there. The author has a clear vision for an interesting world of Mystics run by witches, werewolves, and vampires. However, this is a fantasy story the does a lot of “telling” often in really stereotypical forms like visions, memories, or journal pages. There is less “showing” which really hampers the pace of the book. The dialogue often comes across really unnatural and monologue-like a points. Character wise, there are definitely some to root for including two of the major love interests but with a very unfulfilling cliffhanger at the end, I doubt I’ll be back for more.
