Of Blood and Aether by Harper Hawthorne

DID NOT FINISH: 23%

It’s not that the book was bad, but I just don’t think it’s as good as I wanted it to be. When I read romance books, I don’t need the most creative plot. I’m usually fine with mediocre writing as long as the meat is good. But when I read fantasy books, I want really good writing. I want detailed descriptions and a naturally flowing plot. As I was reading, I didn’t know what anything or anyone looked like. There weren’t enough descriptions to match the amount of dialogue and monologues. Like I couldn’t even tell you what time period this is supposed to be in. Like I don’t see the use of cell phones but they also used the terms “ex” and “date” so I couldn’t tell you. Pretty much I don’t want to waste my time reading fantasy books that are just okay.
