The Praise: The premise was interesting.
The Critique: The premise was cool but the execution left A LOT to be desired. The story was confusing and just downright boring. There were too many characters and the POV kept shifting which made it hard to keep up with. The writing was almost…self-aggrandizing which made it annoying to slog through. And even after finishing the book, I don’t feel like I know what happened.
Final Thoughts: The premise of The Deading was wasted on this book.
