This book was exactly what I expected it to be and was therefore fabulous! It’s a really easy and predictable read. I am excited to read the rest of the series.

I hate all of the characters and the plot is not great, super cliche and I wanted all of the characters to die. I don't care to see any sort of romance between the two leads. The writing was just fine, the descriptions were just bad.

1.0

I was looking forward to this book, as it seemed like it had a lot of potential for an interesting story. Unfortunately I didn’t feel like it kept that potential as the story went on.

Overall I found it slow and a bit tedious with minimal action happening. Something about the pacing just didn’t grab me. Which was disappointing as I found the concept interesting and thought it could be executed well.

The characters too just felt very flat and one note. I can’t tell you much about any of the characters. I didn’t really find them or their relationships overly compelling. There were a few moments here and there I did think a character or dynamic would really shine, but overall it rarely felt earned.

The writing style also wasn’t all that impressive to me. There were a few instances where something was described in a weird way, but outside of that it read like your typical YA fantasy.

I definitely think the book had some potential, especially the concept. In the end I think it just fell a bit flat.

I gave this a few chapters to try, but I found that it lacked some substance for me. I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad book because it falls into a lot of YA tropes but it’s really not for me.
