astraeal 's review for:
City of Broken Magic
by Mirah Bolender
I hoped to like this book more than I did but I just couldn't get into it. It was really slow and I was wondering what the actual plot was. From the summary I knew it was about magic and the (deadly) infections it could create, with sweepers, the only one who could do something against it. But also from the summary, I thought Laura, our main character, was the only one left when she actually wasn't. She is only an apprentice for the moment and we follow her and her boss, Clae, plus another apprentice joining them later for the story.
I really liked the relationships between these three characters, to be honest it's the only thing that helped me to keep reading the book. I couldn't understand a lot of the words and just the universe and there wasn't always an explanation so it was troublesome, all the while I was lost with the world and I think it's one because of that I couldn't get into the story.
The last 10-15% did leave me more interested than everything else happening before so I'm leaving the book with a slightly better opinion. And it left us with some little questions or ideas of where the plot could go next in the series.
